This
month we will explore art, music, puppetry, drama, games and storytelling from around the world. Children’s literature
will include the collected works of Ann Morris.
You
can help make this month meaningful and exciting!
· Our International Festival will provide an opportunity for us to taste
recipes from around the world. Everyone is invited. Please note the date on the calendar and send in a dish that represents
your cultural background. Please provide us with the recipe for a group recipe book that will be shared.
· We will also be sending out
paper dolls that represent ourselves, to visit relatives from all over America and the WORLD. The paper dolls will be returned to our classroom after a short visit with their "host families". We
will learn something about the exciting things they did and the places they went! Please provide us with the addresses
(postal and email) of a relative your child will be able to send a puppet to. We will be asking these relatives or friends
to take a photograph with the puppet, perhaps include a postcard of their location and return the puppet ASAP to our classroom.
· Do you have a game, story, song, craft etc. from your country of origin that you would like to share
with the children? Just let me know!
