Happy June first!
In K/PREK1 group this week, we’ve been diving into maps and globes so today, we focused on the country China! We read the book, ‘Look What Came From China!’. We learned that several different things came from China including the compass, kite, wheel barrel, chopsticks, and sunglasses! We looked at a map of the world and identified where the United States is as well as where China is located.
Kindergarteners have been talking about maps this week so today the whole class got to participate in making a map of an imaginary town. We talked about what kinds of places we wanted in our town and what kind of transportation we might use. We drew streets, sidewalks and train tracks for transportation, so we added people, trains and cars to our board to imagine with. Someone had an idea to draw a lake and several other friends wanted to do this too. We realized we could now add boats to our transportation possibilities. We also added places to go. There was a beach, neighborhoods, a school, a fire station and several ice cream stands!
Outside we continued working on our process leaf prints, adding layers of darkening greens!
