August Theme: All About Me

During the month of August we will be focusing on the theme "All About Me." Students will be sent home with a project to complete that focuses on their favorite things, what they'd like to be when they grow up, etc. Each student will have a turn to present this project to the class and share about themselves. We will be concentrating on practicing our personal information (name, age, where we live, etc.) and noticing that in our class we have similarities and differences among each other. In science, we will concentrate on practicing our body parts, and for those that are already identifying their body parts, what each part is responsible for doing. In Social Studies, we will look at pictures of people and cultures from around the world. We will learn that we live in Arizona, and make an Arizona Flag, a map of Arizona, and an Arizona collage in art. If you'd like to help your child with this theme at home, there are many ways to do so. It can be as simple as having them identify themselves in a family photo, or identifying their name from a grouping of the names of the family members. For more advanced learners, they might practice talking about what their favorite activities are, versus what other family members enjoy doing. Get creative! See you all soon!!
