4 Year Old PK Room -Getting ready for the holidays is always one of our favorite time!
One of my favorite time of the year is Thanksgiving and Christmas Season in a PK classroom. In a catholic PK we can celebrate to the fullest and we start right after Halloween. The excitement of the children is amazing and I always love finding fun activities for them. Be it crafts or learning activities they seem to love it all. We enjoy getting messy and exploring and making each child's experience memorable. And for those with sensory issues we of course can adapt and find other fun non messy ways for them to enjoy. One child wore gloves while he decorated his gingerbread house. Each child's story about their house is also unique and fun to hear why they chose the decorations. Teaching the children about the first Thanksgiving and helping them understand what "giving " is all about is a priceless opportunity. The Mayflower goes along with our sink or float unit.
