Children’s Discoveries: “I Found Africa!”
Preschool
February 20, 2019
One day, while the children were lining up for the toilet, a child noticed that a missing section of corkboard looked like the African continent. “I found Africa!” they exclaimed, happily sharing the discovery.
They also found a shape resembling America in a piece of wallpaper the children had torn while playing: “This one is America!”
CGK children learn about different countries through intercultural learning. It is wonderful to see that learning inspire discoveries like these!
