Celebrating and experiencing our western heritage is part of our culture here in our state. At the preschool level those experiences help form ideas and concepts of history at a very introductory level. Translation: we have fun with western stuff!!
We had real animal bones to examine - some with super sharp teeth. We had the opportunity to discuss what we thought that animal might have eaten. We painted with ropes of different lengths. Our best painting activity was "udder painting" with a rubber glove filled with paint! We worked farm puzzles, wore cowboy clothes and built block ranches. Mrs. Magee had a special corral for the injured animals. She emphasized the need for the animals to recover in a quiet environment, but no one was buying that story. We test drove a saddle and Noah's mommy came to make cornbread with us.
Super fun - y'all!
