Our first week back to school was a busy one! We dove right into our continent unit and we started talking about land, sea and water. The hummingbirds learned a couple new songs about the continents and we had a full week of specials! Since it was so cold this week we spent a lot of time in the classroom doing art projects, having dance parties and exploring the Montessori work.
Continent songs:
1) to the tune of Frère Jacques
Europe, Asia
A-fri-ca
North America
South America
Then there is Antarctica
Don’t forget Australia
Seven continents! Seven continents!
North America
