Transportation & Mother's Day

This week our theme was “Transportation & Mother’s Day”.  The children made a traffic light and learned 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 we worked on a special Mother’s Day gift.  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 enjoy a dairy snack and learn about the different types of food that comes from the farm.
