We received cute "passport" books and stickers for each day's lesson with our curriculum kit. Each day the children drew a picture of the place we visited and collected their "stamp" sticker. They loved it!
When we visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa the kids created their own leaning towers with foam craft peanuts and toothpicks.
Noah worked very hard to create a structurally sound tower, but Ada Grace had more fun spearing her foam peanuts with tons of toothpicks.
I really appreciate that our curriculum not only teaches them about fascinating places but inspires them to dig deeper and explore the themes in reality as well.
When we visited the Grand Canyon, the children created layered paper art collages to mimic the sunset over the canyon. They turned out nicely and I loved that they were virtually mess-free!
I think Ada Grace's favorite part was tearing the paper and applying the glue. She's becoming quite the artist!
Finally, we traveled East to visit the Great Wall of China. We talked about just how big the wall is. The kids were amazed that you can see it from outer space! Then, in our community challenge activity, Noah and Ada Grace worked together to build their own wall out of blocks. I love watching them work together to create!
We had so much fun traveling around Earth that we can't wait to explore Outer Space with March's curriculum box from Mother Goose Time. Don't forget to check back next week to see what we are learning about stars and planets!
