This week Kindergarten’s traveling again, and we’re visiting a new continent: Africa! First stop: Nigeria.
Why the Sky is Far Away: A Nigerian Folktale, retold by Mary-Joan Gerson, is an engaging story about how the greed of people pushed the generous sky away from us forever. The hidden message of not wasting nature’s gifts is a timeless lesson.
While folktales are a lovely way to imagine why nature is the way it is, we learned that a great way to discover actual scientific facts is by borrowing books from the 500s section of the library – Science and Nature!
