Please visit preschool's “American Landmarks” display in the St. Peter’s lobby. You will see replicas of the Washington Monument and the Liberty Bell.
We began our study of the Washington Monument by practicing building with 1” cubes. We then worked our fine motor skills by moving on to building with a smaller component - the sugar cube. It was fun for the students to once again see the obelisk and pyramid shapes that were introduced in our Egyptian unit in January.
We decided to make our Liberty Bells by reusing/recycling plastic bottles. This served as a reminder to all of us of our school motto “Go Healthy, Go Green”. The students began construction of their bells by applying several coats of a variety of acrylic paints. The next and most fun part for the kids was determining where and how big to make the crack in their Liberty Bell! They then used scissors to cut and design a crack in their bell. A final coat of gold paint was then applied.
