The World In Our Backyard!

Today our students had the chance to take part in a program about Africa.  The kids were able to dress up in African clothing and play instruments from Africa as well as learn about the animals and people that live there.  The students had a wonderful time as you can probably tell from the pictures!  This Friday will be the end of our Africa unit where we will have our African marketplace!  We are still in need of starburst if you are able to send some in with your child!  We hope you enjoy the pictures from this wonderful experience.
We got to see many pictures of life in Africa

Each one of the students got to get dressed up and the kids loved it!
Cedrionna showed us how African girls would get water each day and carry it on their head in a gourd...she is concentrating very hard!


Then it was time to get in a circle and play music and do some dancing!  Nicholas and Kamran got to dance with some of the African masks that they brought!

Everyone loved playing the drums and other instruments.
Even Ms. Suarez and I got to join in on the fun and dance around the circle!

  1. This is so awsome! We are all so lucky to have such great teachers working with our kids. I am so glad that Nicholas gets an oppurtunity to be part of such a great school that allows him to learn about things all over the world and to have so many hands on activities at this age. Thank you guys for all you do.
