November 11-17– Geography Awareness Week –This is the perfect week to take out a map or a globe and show the children where they live and where your home country is.  Have them mark on a map all of the places they have visited and where they would like to go. Visit the library for some books and stories about those places.   Prepare one of your favorite recipes from home and have them experience some foreign dishes.  Teach them a song from your native land or read them one of your favorite childhood stories.
