Week of March 16th-20th

Sapitos Classroom

Miss Silvia and Miss Amparo

Week of (Semana de): March 16th-20th

Theme of the Month/Week (Tema Del Mes/ Semana):

“My culture and traditions” (Mi cultura y tradiciones)

Hello Sapitos parents: I hope you had a great weekend! For this week we will learn about cultures and traditions. The United States is one of the most highly cultural diverse countries in the world, also known as the “Melting Pot,” and with a large  population, culture becomes an important ingredient for the daily American life.  This week we will have activities focus on similarities and contrasts, learning to get along with others and having a good self-esteem. Also, we will talk the importance of traditions in our family. Traditions propose great benefits: they reinforce family’s bonds, enhance the time we share together, provide to our children’s safety, and create profound memories.
