This week, we learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and also focused on celebrating our differences. We discussed how it does not matter what people look like or if they are different than us, but what matters is that we are all special people on the inside deserving of kindness and respect. We celebrated our differences and what makes each and every one of us special and unique. Here are some highlights from the week:
After reading It's Okay to be Different by Todd Parr, we discussed how our differences are what make us special and unique. There is no one exactly like us! Our preschoolers then wrote and drew a picture of something that makes them special!
We learned that Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream of a word where all people were treated equally and with kindness. We came up with our dreams of how to make the world a better place! Our "dreams" are currently displayed in the hallway!
During circle time, we compared a brown egg and white egg. We noticed that while they were different colors and sizes, they both felt the same when we touched them. After cracking them open, we noticed that they looked exactly the same on the inside! We talked about how people are kind of like the eggs: we all look different on the outside but we all are people who deserve kindness on in the inside!
Learning about beats and rests with Ms. Janet!
After reading the Dr. Seuss classic The Sneetches, we each got to share something that makes us special!
