north pre 1 & north pre 2: Africa
North Pre 1 & North Pre 2 Families,
Happy February! We are so excited to announce that all preschool classes (NP!, NP2, and South) are all going to be focusing on a very special geographic location - Africa. The kids will learn African animals, such as the Nile crocodile which is the largest reptile in Africa. We will talk about where Africa is on a map (fun fact- the continent of Africa is the second largest continent in the world), as well as talk about the food, art, and cultures. We will also spend time celebrating Black history month and will learn about famous African American inventors.
Our sensory bins are filled with different types of safari animals hidden inside of their own habitats, and our art shelves are lined with fun animal printed paper for preschoolers to practice cutting, pasting, painting, and coloring with. We have several large Africa maps that preschoolers will be able to use throughout the day, and during our circles teachers will give lessons which will help provide new knowledge about this vast topic. We are so excited to explore Africa for February!
