We have been talking about Africa a lot in preparation for next week's African dance residency. Today we looked at a map of the world and talked about continents. We counted the seven continents and used magnets to label Africa and North America. We have read several stories that depict village life in Africa (Kenya, Uganda, and Liberia) and talked about how life for children in these places is similar to ours, and more notably how it is different. We will be writing a report together focusing on the ways life for some children in Africa is different from life for children in Vermont.
