Transportation Week

This week our theme was ‘Transportation’.  We worked on classification, sorting, identifying the letters in our name, colors and using a glue bottle correctly.  The children made a traffic light and learned what each colored light meant.  We also sorted transportation pictures, placed them on a graph and discussed the results.  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 ‘Oceans’.  We will make a starfish, ocean photo album, giant fish book and a classroom book about our favorite ocean animal.  We will continue to work on fine motor skills as the children use beads to create their very own bracelet.  We will also review letters and numbers this week.

Zoo Week

 

This week our theme was ‘Zoo’.  We learned about a variety of zoo animals and the children made a giraffe, monkey and a zebra.  The children also created a classroom book about what animals they might see at the zoo.  We worked on putting the numbers in order 1-10 and we used our sense of hearing to play an animal sounds game.

Next week our theme will be ‘Transportation’.  We will work on classification, sorting, identifying the letters in our name, colors and using a glue bottle correctly.  The children will be cutting letters out of magazines in order to make their names.  We will also create a cargo train and use our sense of hearing to play transportation BINGO as we listen to the different sounds vehicles make.  The children will also make a traffic light and learn what each colored light means.  We will even sort transportation pictures, place them on a graph and discuss the results.  On Monday & Tuesday of this week I will be taking the children to the Taylor County Highway Department to explore the various forms of transportation they have!  (Remember to wear old jackets & clothes).
