Curriculum

I am in the midst of typing up the yearly curriculum for P1 as set by the Ministry of Education for the country of Uganda.  I had to stop and share what I am finding.  For term1 for each of the 3main subjects (NUMERACY, LITERACY, & ENGLISH) there are 4 themes... our school, our home, our community and human body and health.

For one of the "people at our school", the person is known as the askari... his job is to open and close the school gate... and his tool is a bow and arrow or gun.  All the pictures in the workbook are of a guy with a shotgun slung over his shoulder.  TIA

For roles of family members...
Father... head of a family, pays school fees
Mother... cooks food at home, takes care of children
Sister... washes utensils
Brother... fetches water

Under human body and health...
The importance of keeping the body clean...
@to avoid sickness
@to avoid the bad smell
@to avoid germs
@to look healthy
@to be smart

Common diseases...cough...typhoid...measles...diarrhea...malaria... flue... ring worm

I am not sure the curriculum for American first graders includes these types of things... TIA!
