SPECIAL ACTIVITIES
Special activities at Bethany Busy Bee range from a visit with the Littleton Fire Department to vision screening, to the Fall Festival and a performance by Merry Andrew Afoot. The teachers are responsible for supervising the children while these activities take place.
ART
Busy Bee teachers try to let the children “do their own thing” when it comes to creating an art project. Whether it’s painting, using markers, cutting, or pasting, whatever the activity, the end product is the student’s work. The product may occasionally seem unrecognizable, but it shows what the child is able to do. The teachers believe that it’s the process, not the end product that counts. Various art activities will be offered each day.
