We are proud to promote cultural diversity within our school throughout the year. We educate our youth through the use of the Frogstreet curriculum, Pre-Scholar Enrichment classes, culturally aware dolls, toys, books and centers. This month our focus is celebrating Native American Heritage Month. We have researched activities to celebrate, educate, commemorate, and illustrate Native American achievements, artifacts, artwork, music, beadwork, dwellings, sacred rituals, animals, nature, and language.
We understand the importance of bringing awareness, honor, and respect to all cultures we discuss with our children and we're thankful to be a crucial part of teaching early childhood education with positive and informative intentions. They loved painting with corn cobs this week, having music and movement class using feathers, learning about sacred and special hats, exploring fall sensory bins with corn, and learning about sharing, being caring and thankful. We can't wait to honor veterans in the community and promoting friendships next week. We hope you all have a wonderful month filled with love, gratefulness and Fall's beautiful bounty. Otsaliheliga!
