Manners
Work on manners through dramatic play and stories.
It’s the perfect time to practice because Thanksgiving dinner will be a real-life experience where littles can ‘show off’ their new manners!
Like with most things, the more manners are practiced, the more habitual they become.
Beavers
The full moon in November is called the Beaver Moon.
Why?
Because beavers were most active at this time of year.
Living both on land and in the water, beavers are sure to intrigue your little learners.
Take advantage of this clever connection and learn about this paddled-tail friend.

Recycling
America Recycles Day is November 15th.
Teach about recycling, why it is crucial, and what would happen if no one recycled.
Perhaps even collect items to be recycled (and some garbage pieces) and have your little ones practice sorting them into the correct paper, plastic, and garbage bins.
You can also break out these books about recycling!
Veterans Day
Veterans Day can be a bit touchy with preschoolers.
The concept of veterans is tricky for a preschool mind to understand.
The idea of fighting or a nation being ‘under attack’ can cause unnecessary stress or worry.
Start by focusing on bravery (and how preschoolers can be brave), patriotism (loving your country), and service (helping the country).
Encourage your preschooler to devise ways to be brave, show they love their country, and help others through service.

STEM/STEAM
STEM Day is November 8th! Bring Science, Technology, Engineering, (Arts), and Math into everything you do for this week.
Bring awareness to your littles that STEM concepts are all over.
From cooking to drawing to closing a play house door, all these things have an element of STEM.
Set up STEM challenges to help spark an interest in STEM and to work those fantastic brains!
