Today was Passport Club for the younger group. It was still my turn to teach Spain. We started a little late cause I was running behind (Wheel Bug cried almost all night long and didn't wake til 11:00 am!). We started off locating Spain on a map and talked about the bodies of water near it. We read the older kids poster and talked about the similarities to our country. We listened to a tape on how to speak Spanish--that was fun. We read The Three Golden Oranges by Alma Flor Ada and Anno's Spain by Mitsumasa Anno. Ladybug told the kids all about Pablo Picasso and then we looked at some paintings online. We then did some of our own cubism by cutting up a picture in a magazine and rearranging them on construction paper. We ate some food from Spain (ham, boiled eggs, carrots, garbanzo beans, rice and sausage) and then the kids played for a little bit. After they played we colored Spain's flag and then we made flash cards with Spanish words for the colors. Then we were done! It was lots of fun! The kids learned a lot and enjoyed being together. We will be having a Spain party on March 1st. I'll post our menu soon.
Enjoy your weekend. We will be spending ours with family that we haven't seen since Christmas!
