Transportation & Mother's Day

This week our theme was “Transportation & Mother’s Day”.  The children made a traffic light and learn what each colored light meant.  They also sorted transportation pictures, placed them on a graph and discuss the results.  We created a helicopter, cargo train and used our sense of hearing to play transportation BINGO as we listened to the different sounds vehicles make.  On Monday and Tuesday of this week the FFA students came to help us make lip-gloss for Mother’s Day.  On Wednesday and Thursday we took a field trip to the Taylor County Highway Department and got to explore the big equipment!  Be sure to ask your child about the kinds of transportation they saw!

Next week our theme will be the “Farm”.  We will be tearing paper to make a cow, using beans to make a barn and drawing pictures to create My Silly Animal Book.  On Wednesday & Thursday we will be taking a field trip to the farm.  We will split into smaller groups and tour the farm where we will learn all about the life of a farmer!  Please remember to wear old clothes/shoes and dress for the weather, as we will be outside for most of the morning.
