Ni Hao! Bonjourno! Let’s go on a wonder-filled journey of exploration and learning. Each
week we will travel to a new country, explore a new culture, learn basic vocabulary
phrases, traditional music and make wonderful crafts. We will build a famous structure
from each country. Along with learning about the countries, activities will provide
opportunities for children to improve their fine motor and communication skills. They will
work and play cooperatively, and even learn public speaking skills through our build and
share time!
