1st Grade Geography

For 1st grade geography my goal is to teach 15 countries spread across the globe. By teaching them countries in completely different areas I give them a reference point for future countries. (e.g. they learn Ireland in 1st grade, making it easier to learn Scotland and England in 2nd Grade)

The Fifteen I like to do are:

1. Egypt
2. Israel
3. Sweden
4. China
5. Mexico
6. Chile
7. Australia
8. Iceland
9. South Africa
10. India
11. Brazil
12. Dominican Republic
13. Belize
14. Nigeria
15. Ireland

Guitar (Preschool/Kindergarten Fine Arts)

Phil Keagy plays guitar

Piano (Preschool/Kindergarten Fine Arts)

This is an instrument. Do you know what it's called?

This is a piano.

Pianos have white and black keys on the outside and strings on the inside.

Do you see the black keys? How about the white keys?
Where are the strings?


Piano's come in all different shapes and sizes.

The Grand Piano is so large that it is bigger than a lot of beds!

Watch these pianists play the piano using the keys and the strings.

What did you think of that?
Did you see how they used both the keys and the strings to make music?
