Inspired by the Indian traditional art of rangoli, the children have been working with manipulatives, such as tangrams, to create beautiful designs using patterns to build different shapes, such as dodecagons.
These beautiful displays overlapped with our conversations about Thanksgiving and the tom turkey, who uses his display to attract a mate. Here is one of our Rangoli inspired dodecagon turkeys!
Of course, there's also the old tradition of hand-traced turkeys this time of year, but we like to take those up a notch, too.
The children's hands have been quite busy increasing focus, concentration, and fine motor strength!
Of course, we had to weave in some feathers to showcase the turkey displays.
Happy Thanksgiving!
