International Day of Peace, Welcome Fall, and Nursery Rhymes Revisited

    September 21 was International Day of Peace. We found a great article at: https://news.masterworksfineart.com/2020/08/04/picassos-dove-of-peace#continue-reading

This article discusses the symbol of the peace dove and Pablo's involvement. We created our own replica for this day. We love doves and often connect friendship to the doves because of our Home Alone books and movies. A really great series from our favourite Canadian Illustrator Kim Smith are the Pop Classic series: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/series/PCP/pop-classics

Barron read these two books of ours in a very lovely afternoon storytime.

 

September 22 was the first day of fall and we were inspired to created a mandala from a template we purchased from the really neat creator at:  https://gabitatemporium.com/products/mandala-template 

We watched some nursery rhymes and fairy tales such as The Wheels on the Bus, Baa Baa Black Sheep, 10 in the Bed, Sing a Song of Six Pence, Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, 5 Little Monkeys, Snow White, Cinderella, Pinocchio, and Alice in Wonderland. 

Cinderella is nicely done in this lovely resource as is The Three Little Pigs, for 60cents USD you can have these resources too at: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Dollar-Store-Teacher
