December 2014

In November we turned into explorers and went on to learn about the continent of Europe. We found it on the globe, we talked about its size and the many countries that make it up. We looked more in depth at three countries: Poland, France and the United Kingdom. We explored their customs, languages, famous people and landmarks. We listened to music by famous composers coming from those countries and admired art by their famous painters. We found those countries and their capital cities on the map and looked at their flags. We also tried the native foods: from Poland – vegetable salad, France – crepes, the United Kingdom – tea and scones.


We are enjoying our exploration so much that we are going to extend it into the month of December. We will also talk about different holidays we celebrate this holiday season.
