Thanksgiving books

7 Thanksgiving books for kids from the Native perspective | Cool Mom Picks

There are so few Thanksgiving books for kids written from the Native perspective, which we worked hard to track down some great ones. May they provide a better understanding of the real history of Thanksgiving, and give us even more reasons to celebrate all the contributions that made it the lovely holiday it is today.

Great teacher quote

“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as

there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.”

— John Steinbeck

Paint with feathers link

Paint with Feathers | Activity | Education.com

For your next art activity, give your child a feather instead of a paintbrush and watch his creativity take flight! Using a feather for a brush strengthens his fine motor muscles and hand eye coordination, both of which are important for writing later on.

Fork Painting

Fork Painting! I was thinking to do this color activity with LO for months, and the right time clicked in. As this is LO's first time experiment with fork I didn't think of any theme, so I just left LO to do his own free art.

Children learn through play - it shouldn't stop at preschool

The transition from preschool to school is a big deal for many children and parents. Over the next few weeks, many preschoolers will take part in a transition program, designed by their teachers, to prepare them for school. They'll meet their foundation teachers, spend some time in a classroom and hopefully make some new friends.
