Things That Go!

Well this has been a very short week! We haven’t had a whole lot of time to enjoy the changes in our classroom but we are fortunate that the new things will remain out for a few weeks. Things that Go and Community Helpers are fun units because we have lots of new play centers.  We especially enjoy our airport area! We take turns being check-in agents, flight attendants and pilots.

We also have lots of little people transportation sets out to fly, drive, ride a train, etc. to imaginary destinations.

We have emergency personnel gear in our block/building area to handle any “structural emergencies”. We also have a medical center in our housekeeping area to care for the newborn babies.

There is now pvc piping in our science area, which we use to build all sorts of sculptures. There is also a fun foam and golf tee building set!

Projects this week included water color painting a boat (speed boat, row boat, pirate ship, sailboat, cruise ship)  of our choice and coloring an “in the air vehicle” (airplane, jet, blimp, hot air balloon, helicopter) of  choice and a land vehicle (car, truck, bus, bike, van, motorcycle) We then had to match the vehicle to the poster with the correct location (sky, sea, road). These posters are on display in our hallway.

 

Don't forget that the Bear Hunt Trip is

 Career Dress Up Day is on
