In honor of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday,
Knee High Preschool
allowed students and families to remain home for the day. When we
remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are inspired by his kindness
and commitment to improving our country. That’s why today we’re going to
explore a couple of easy and fun ways to teach your preschooler about
kindness.
1. Home Made Treats For Animal Shelters
Creating home made treats is a fun opportunity for a food and science
project. Plus, it gives kids a chance to get a little messy for a good
cause! Here’s a simple, no-bake, no-peanuts recipe.
- 1 can of pumpkin puree
- 1 container of plain oatmeal
- honey
Mix a bit of honey into the pumpkin puree. Each child should get a
dollop of the honey-pumpkin mixture and about two tablespoons of oats.
Let the kids mold and squish the ingredients together. Drizzle a little
honey on top of each, then refrigerate the bite-sized treats. Donate to a
shelter. Some shelters will come pick the treats up and bring a furry
friend along to visit the classroom.
Practice Giving Compliments During Circle Time
During circle time, play the “compliment game,” as we all learn about
respecting and being kind to one another. The teacher starts with a
spongy ball, then rolls it to someone in the circle. She must say
something nice to that person. Then, that child chooses someone new to
roll it to and thinks of a compliment or something they like about the
recipient. Make sure no one gets left out!
