Social Studies

• The 4 year old student learned about spatial awareness and how to navigate through the obstacle course by going 'over', 'under', and 'through' various equipment.
• The concept of cooperation and teamwork was reinforced as the student communicated and collaborated with others to complete the course.
• The activity provided an opportunity for the student to understand and respect physical boundaries and personal space as they moved through the obstacle course with classmates.

Encourage the 4 year old to reflect on their experience during the activity, asking questions such as "How did you feel when going over, under, and through the obstacles?" and "What was your favorite part of the obstacle course?" This will help them process and articulate their thoughts and feelings, promoting emotional and social development. You can also extend the activity by introducing maps or globes to discuss different locations and cultures that people need to navigate 'over', 'under', and 'through' in different parts of the world.
