Believe it or not, our morning Kinders have been noticing all of these Spring changes as well. On a walk down by the lake, the children also noticed that the geese had returned and they of course wanted to chase them.
Instead we invited the children to fly like a goose around the field but the children recognized that we were missing one vital thing...wings!
After making our wings, the children began asking questions about the geese like why do they swim in the lake. This lead to an invitation about different animals and their habitiats.
We took the children on a nature walk to search for the habitats of different creatures and along the way we collected the materials that we needed to make our own habitats at the center.
When we returned to the center the children got busy re-creating some of the habitats that we had seen and talked about using the natural materials that they found on their walk.
We created a nest, a lake, a dam, trees, a spider web and even a dinosaur enclosure!
The morning kinders have been noticing the plants around the room from the afternoon kinder group so stay tuned for how things grow with the AM kinders.
