For the past few weeks, PreK 3 and PreK 4 students have been studying signs. As part of this exciting study the children have been exploring and discussing the attributes of signs from many different locations around the world. As the children dig deeper, they will discover the important ways that signs are used to help find what you are looking for, to know which way to go, and to stay safe.

As children create their own signs throughout the study, they will discover and compare the characteristics of signs and engage in meaningful literacy, mathematics, and arts experiences. They will also explore concepts related to social studies as they investigate how people use signs every day. At the end of the unit, the classrooms will showcase what they have learned with with a celebration of learning!
