Leaders

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we are talking about Leaders this week and how important they are to our community!  We spent a lot of time learning about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his great contributions.  The children created their own Dream Clouds with their dream on them.  The 1 year olds made a birthday cake for Martin Luther King, Jr. with 5 candles which is our number of the week!

 

We also talked about everyone being equal and having peace amongst us.  The 3 year olds made Doves of Peace using their hand prints while the 2 year olds glued on small pieces of white paper to make their doves!

 Several of our rooms made Peace Wreaths with all of their hands to show that they could play together and love one another!

 Our Pre-K class did a neat activity in which the children painted their hand a certain color and then shook hands with a friend who had a different color paint on their hand.  They then did hand prints on a big piece of paper and wrote notes to Dr. Martin Luther King to thank him!

 

 

 

A week is never complete without activities with our letter of the week!  We made "Y is for Yak" as an art project and one classroom even made Yaks from their hand prints!
