Cultural Topics

Geography

First we talked about our earth and what it is made of (Land, Air, and water)  On the globe we pointed out the land and water and then we talked about animals that live on land and animals that live in the water.

Then we started learning about hemispheres and continents.  They are doing REALLY good at singing our continent song, if you want to know the tune to get it started just ask Miss Brianna and you can hear them sing it! Prepare to be grinning from ear to ear if they will perform for you :) It was so cute just today (9/26) When I pointed to Antartica and asked its's name and Kaden H raised his hand with such a surety in his answer said "that is Nortica Nortica"

We are now starting to learn about Australia, mostly we will study the animals from Australia but we also have pictures of the city and culture to look at.

 

 Zoology

We are studying the Kangaroo to go with our Australia unit.  Each week we study a different part of the kangaroo.  If your child brings home a colored picture point to the pouch and ask them what it is and what goes inside.  They think it's fun that the baby kangaroo's are named Joey's

Botany

Being so close to October we have started our Pumpkin unit.  Each week we will learn about the parts of a pumpkin and the best part of all will be when we cut a pumpkin open and clean the seeds out to cook and eat!
