*talked about how we are at the American School, and we live in Singapore! We are so lucky! We learned more about the symbols of America, and talked with some of our cuties from the US. Then we looked at some of the symbols of Singapore, talked about our favorite places here, and talked about the flag and merlion. 
*the cuties presented their family banners.  I am so proud of them!  They did such a great job talking about their families and what is going on in each of the pictures. introduced Canada.
*I introduced Canada and we talked about the countries that everyone in the class is from, then tried to point them out during the UN day parade of flags
*continued talking about our families
