Temples in India; Grapes in California; and Bagels in New York City!

The K-Kids traveled to three more places this week with the classroom parents.  Avneil's mother came in and spoke about the Gods and temples in India.  The K-Kids loved learning about the different Gods, their abilities, and the stories.  They especially loved the pictures of the kid Gods!  She also showed us a model of the Taj Mahal!  After learning even more about India, the K-Kids had a special sweet treat from the country.

On Thursday, the K-Kids traveled to California with Dillon's mother.  She designed a BINGO game for the K-Kids to play as she explained the different tourist attractions, food, and landmarks in California.  The K-Kids were great listeners and all were winners by the end of the presentation!  They then enjoyed some cheese, grape juice and grapes from California!

BINGO fun!

We ended our travel week by going to New York City with Maddie's parents!  The K-Kids learned about the different boroughs in the Big Apple, the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge.  Maddie's dad read a very imaginative book, Sector 7, that took place on the Empire State Building.  They also enjoyed some "New York" bagels and cream cheese.  How fun!

Maddie's little brother, Gus, was helping Mom :)

 Flat Stanley was also busy as he traveled to Anisa's family in Tennesse!  He sent back brochures of many cool activities - he even got to visit Elvis's house and some cool caves!

We also learned about two different artist - Michelangelo and Jackson Pollock.  The K-Kids learned about the Sistine Chapel and discussed how Michelangelo would have painted the ceiling.  They learned that he had to lay on his back and paint for hours with his hands up in the air.  They all practiced laying down with their hands up...

 Then they drew pictures under tables to have a true Michelangelo experience!

 We then learned about the different style of Jackson Pollock.  He used movement and energy to create paintings and dripped, splashed, and flicked paint on the canvas.  It was a little messy, but we did the same! 

I am so excited to share these masterpieces and others with you at Culmination Night on May 31st!
