The FIFA World Cup will run from June 12th to July 13th 2014. This is an exciting time as it will give the class a chance to learn about the host country, Brazil in Social Studies and to delve into many core values shared in playing soccer such as teamwork, perseverance, cooperation and fair play.
Brazil is the lucky country to play host this time around! We will be doing arts and craft activities in class. Once the FIFA Cup games begin, I kindly ask that you bring to school any magazines, newspapers or information regarding the teams, players, and/or countries involved.
Merci infiniment!
