Going back in time a bit tonight... Here are lots of photos of work we did during the month of December related to our Social Studies focus on holidays and the family. We had lots of fun reading and learning about various traditions and how people celebrate in similar and different ways. Many children were surprised by the many similarities across traditions... and that history affects the way families and groups of people celebrate today.
As all of our classmates celebrate Christmas, we made another cut and glue book based on the seven days of the week, with one number and symbol of the holiday being represented each day. Not only did kids make a cute book, but they practiced following multi-step directions, making designs with appropriate proportion and perspective, and how to work independently and/or ask classmates for help and support when needed.
We spent talking and learning about family structures and how families give us what we need for our health and well-being. The gift of having a family far exceeds any other gift in our lives.
We love to create Venn diagrams to show our learning over time. Look for photos of our December Family Breakfast in the next blog!
