Preschool 4 has chosen the book, Why The Sky Is Far Away, to study for the art faire.
Today we looked at the world map. We located the United States and Cape Cod. We then found Africa and talked about how we would get to Africa if we wanted to travel there. Could we walk there? Or would it be better to swim, take a boat or fly there? The children asked if there was a bridge that could take us there or a road?
We then found Nigeria, where the story takes place. We talked about how it is part of Africa, like Massachusetts (Cape Cod) is part of the United States.
