Good Afternoon!
We continued learning about holidays and celebrations in our pre-k/k group. Today, we focused on Veteran’s Day. As a group, we discussed what a ‘veteran’ is; someone who has served in the military for our country.
Social Studies: K.1.2 Identify celebrations and holidays as a way of remembering and honoring people, events, and America’s heritage.
There are several activities that children can explore at the art table. Lucy got out a sketching/drawing book and proceeded to follow the directions to draw a lion!
While the art table was busy, habitrail picked up when a group of children built a bed using wooden blocks. The three boys who worked together to build this are all different ages but worked well together by voicing their ideas and listening to each others thoughts.
Before lunch, a few children requested play dough so spots were made available at the art table. Using several tools, various items were made: a cookie with sprinkles, pizza, and a snowman!
“Children have an immense capacity for concentration and hard work when they are passionate about what they are doing.”
