We started our social studies unit and have been studying New York City. We looked at pictures of NYC and made connections about what we know. We read this book on
BOOKFLIX as a class.
This sparked up many conversations and questions as well. We turned and talked to our partners to discuss each part of NYC.
We then displayed our learning by constructing our own cities with different shapes of construction paper and wrote in what New York city has and what can you see. The children enjoyed this hands-on activity and were very independent in this task as they we showcasing their new learning! It's important to design and create activities that represent areas of creativity and independence; especially in Kindergarten. It really allows you to see as a teacher what levels the children are working at.
After we finished, we placed all our work on display and did a quick "museum walk" to discuss each others findings. We sat in a circle to discuss what we learned again, to see how much of the information was retained throughout.
ENJOY!
