What an amazingly, CRAZY week!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week we studied various countries from around the world. The goal was to have the girls become respectful of other cultures, many of which are represented here in the UAE.
My class learned about Mexico. They had a blast comparing and contrasting the UAE and Mexico. We made maracas out of plastic bottles and beans. We made salsa, where each girl worked in groups of four to make salsa for their table. We also made Mexican flags and glued popcorn on corn patterns to remind us how important corn is in their culture.
Each teacher chose a different country. Some of the countries represented were Egypt, USA, Ethiopia, South Africa, India, Syria, Lebanon, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, and many more.
On Thursday, there was an assembly where the gym and music teachers taught various groups of girls which they performed for the school and many mothers who came. After lunch, the girls took their "passports" and visited the other classrooms to learn about the countries. The girls were amazing and had a wonderful time.
Here are some pictures of various groups who performed dances.
