Asia


 

Dear Lower Elementary Families,

In the weeks ahead, our classrooms will study the continent of Asia and its people.  The students will examine objects from everyday life, use some of the spoken and written languages, cook native recipes, and learn about art, literature and the music of Asia.

Each child will research a country in Asia and share it with the class.  We will celebrate the end of our Asian studies with a cultural reports and a luncheon. The date will be determined soon.

In order to make this a hands-on experience, we'd like to gather materials from Asia.  If you have any items that you think would enhance our Asian study, could you please let our classes borrow them? Here are some suggestions...
1.  Books, magazines, newspapers
2.  Toys
3.  Money
4.  Kitchen items
5.  School supplies
6.  Clothing
7.  Music
8.  Instruments
9.  Art work

We welcome guest speakers...parents, relatives, friends...who have traveled or lived in Asia and anyone who has a related experience, story, dance, game, or favorite Asian recipe to share.

You can enhance your child's learning by visiting your public library to check out books on Asia.

Thank you!  We appreciate your interest and support!
