This includes knowing the roles that different people play and the places in the community where they work. This theme allows students to make connections to Social Studies concepts as described in SOL K.6 in which students learn to give simple descriptions of the jobs that people in the community perform and their importance in our lives. For example, farmers are important because they raise animals and grow plants to provide our needs of food. This unit expands on what the students have previously learned about the calendar. The students will now learn to talk about seasons and weather as they develop understanding of how climate influences our daily life. For example, the activities we perform, and the clothing we wear change according to the seasons and weather. In this context, the students will learn useful vocabulary and expressions needed to talk about clothing, what they are wearing and what they should wear in every season. The students will learn to recognize and describe pets, zoo animals, and farm animals. A connection to the Science SOL K.6 is found in the Animals unit in which students learn about the basic needs and the life cycle of animals. 16 Arlington Public Schools World Languages Office FLES Scope and Sequence Kindergarten

Theme 4: Global Communities: Communities around the World Subthemes: Places, Cities, Countries, Geography, Ecosystems and Biomes, Traditions and Celebrations in Spanish Speaking Countries Estimated Time: 13-5 class hours Unit Overview The goals of this unit are for students to learn to appreciate cultures from a number of Spanish-Speaking Countries and to recognize vocabulary relating to their traditions and celebrations. This unit seeks to integrate the regular Kindergarten curriculum with the FLES content-based curriculum. Students will learn the names of cities, places and countries in Central America (Guatemala, Costa Rica and El Salvador,) México and Spain, as well as the colors of the respective countries flags.

This unit also connects to the Science SOL: K-6 where students learn about the basic needs and life processes of plants. The students will be able to connect their learning to the subjects covered in this unit, such as the ecosystems and biomes of countries in Central America when they learn about various plants and animals in these countries. This unit will allow students to learn and present a folk dance from México, as well as learning the basic language skills to say a short dialogue in reference to the customary greetings in Spain and México.
