April Vacation

by Yairy (Segue)

During April vacation I taught kindergartners and first graders basic math. The theme for the camp was different countries. A country was assigned per each day. On Monday, the country chosen was Mexico and the students improved their measuring skills by making a fruit salsa. Tuesday was dedicated to Japan, and students learned to count one to five in Japanese and worked on there adding and subtracting skills. On Wednesday students learned about kangaroos because it was Australia day. Students did a jumping activity that involved them to measure their jump. Thursday was Africa day, and students worked on their bar graph skills. The data was collected by organizing African beads and recording the different colors. Students also worked on their organization skills. On Friday the students made bracelets and an African fruit salad that was showcased to the other students.
