KNOWING OUR WORLD: CHINA


Our school anniversary is coming, so we are knowing Jules Verne's work. We watched a movie named "Around the World in 80 Days". We chose China because characters visit that great country during their tour around the world.
Connecting our book with the project, kids are looking for facts and giving opinions about China.

Once that kids connected China with our loved Mexico, they looked for bodies of water, landforms and of course landmarks. The Great Wall came out!

We connected the movements of Earth with day and night and kids realized that in Mexico is day white in China is night.

Children analyzed Chinese culture and idtentify social issues, one of them was WORKING KIDS, they investigated to get involved and purpose solutions and let others know about this issue.

Kids were very exited and brought some objects and created some kind of museum!!



In Facebook, kids posted some Chinese folktales.

All these activities helped children to understand and TO FEEL what empaty, friendship, and tolerance are; and how important are those values.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE.

During this month the book's project is about nature, so to realize what kids know about nature, they will start answering three questions.

1. What do you like about nature? Why?
2. What you don't like about nature? Why?
3. What is your relationship with nature?

Kids will answer by themselves and they comment other's posts.
