This week, was great. Then children learned about manmade wonders. I have not heard of some of them myself so it was great to hear about and learn something new. The children were all amazed that people made these things. We used our discussion topics to learn more about each as well as youtube kid appropriate clips. I love youtube for my daycare program. Where we live the library is very small and the recommended books are very hard to find. I use youtube to do the read aloud for our books. We also use youtube to find out about the topics for that day. We talked about The Great Pyramid, Machu Picchu, and the St. Basil's Cathedral. We had a great time making our paper pyramids for Monday. I supplies the children with colored pencils, markers and crayons. The children could freely design the pyramid as they wish. The baby even got in on this by using his footprints and handprints. Machu Picchu honestly the children had the most fun trying to say the name. I love how Mother Goose Time allows them to be exposed to educational things that they are not normally exposed to. Even my older children love it. We pointed out on the map where each place was located. Thank you MGT for allowing my to be a blogger and receive all my materials free of charge in exchange for my honest feedback about the monthly boxes. www.mothertimegoose.com | |
