December 2016

In November our topic of study was North America. We started by locating it on the globe, then on the map of the world. We named all the countries that are a part of North America and matched them with their flags. We looked at different biomes of North America: from polar to tropical rain forest, from wetlands to deserts, from mountains to grasslands and we looked at native people who live there. We also learned about plants and animals of North America.

We had fun taking part in our own elections and deciding on our next cooking project. Soup won over salad, so we made stone soup for our Thanksgiving lunch.
​
In December we are going to talk about different holiday traditions. If you have a children’s book about a holiday you celebrate as a family, please feel free to send it to school with your child; we would love to read it during circle time.
