Children of the World, Monday Africa

This week here at ABC Preschool we are going to be learning about children in other countries. What some of their living conditions are, and how they dress. When talking about how big the world is and how the ocean divides up some countries I was extremely surprised when a lot of the children already knew this. We talked about and drew a picture of the earth with the sun on one side and the moon on the other. Showing the children that when we have daylight how it is nighttime for some other children in the world.

So today we started with Africa, We learned how some of them have to walk along way with baskets on their heads to carry their food and water. So we all got to try and balance a bucket. It was challenging and we found it to be hard to do but fun to try. Then we made some hats like what some wear in Africa and we learned 3 new words spoken in African, MAMA is mother, BABA if father and the word for hello in Africa is JAMBO. So you might ask your child if he/she remembers their new words. Our food experience for today will be fried bananas!
