makagrin Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Hi! Do any of you have any helpful teaching ideas for Labor Day? I have a brief history from the FIAR Through the Holidays. But any ideas for books/movies/etc? Thanks! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Well, for Labor Day with little ones I find it fun to make a "Labor Day Collage"- let them cut out pictures from old magazines of different occupations and glue them onto posterboard and decorate and what not. It's fun to ask them what they want to be when they grow up and write that down for them (if they can't write themselves yet). A particularly outgoing/verbal kid might enjoy interviewing someone in one of his favorite occupations or seeing if they can tour that person's place of business. You can just talk about the different jobs people do, including the non-glamorous ones, and discuss how your lives or neighborhood might be different if it weren't for that particular worker.

KristineinKS Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Off the top of my head, I know you can find some Labor Day stories in Good Stories for Great Holidays. I have a list of seasonal story collections here, some of the other books will have Labor Day stories also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
