Preschool: Katy and the Big Snow

We have enjoyed studying Katy and the Big Snow. We learned about what is takes to run a city; Megan and Matthew liked looking at the map of Geoppolis and locating different buildings like the library and the train station. We learned about service and how everyone doing their jobs helps things run smoothly. We looked at street signs (and Megan and Matthew have been pointing them out ever since!). We learned about directions. I've been amazed that they will look for the compass rose and point out the direction Katy is going. 

With the Katy they made.

Sometimes, made up activities are the best ones. Megan decided they should practice shoveling snow and so got sugar in a bowl (to be the snow) and carrots (to be the plow). Note: this activity may have involved some eating of the snow....
