**There will be no words or letters of the week for April 04-April 22. We will use this time to practice individual lines with students**
Things to do at home this month to reinforce our themes:
- As a family, come up with a food or dessert that authentic from a different country and make it together.
- Pretend to go on a trip. Place chairs in the middle of the room (as your plane), bring a map! Point to a country and fly there! Talk about the animals you would see, the weather, people and anything else you would see or experience!
- We will be practicing individual lines and songs in class in preparation for the Festival, lines will be sent home next week; please practice your child’s lines at home too!
