Our Neighborhood

Today was our first Out and About. In the pool was all different kinds of transportation we may see on our community walk today. We sorted the buses, cars and trucks in different piles. During our morning circle we talked about the rules of our Out and About. We always listen to our teachers and hold the rope!

Ms. Michele came to visit us today! We first played with a parachute. We moved it up and down...fast and slow. The kids also each got a turn to run under the parachute while their friends held it up in the air. Next the kids jumped forward, backward, and sideways through a ladder on the ground. We didn't want to jump outside the squares or the alligators would get us! The last time on the ladder the kids bear walked. Ms. Michele brought 2 finger fun activities today! She brought magic water beads. They are wet and squishy...the kids loved rolling them in their hands. She also made play-doh towers. The kids had to push circles and paper clips through the stick on the tower. Everyone concentrated very hard and was very careful to not knock over the tower!

Before starting our walk we read the story "Around the Neighborhood." The kids visited different places in their neighborhood. They went to the park, a school, the post office, a grocery story and the library. After we made a list of things we were going to find on our walk. Some of the things we were going to look for were a dog, bike, a flag and flowers.

We loved the scavenger hunt during our community walk. On our walk we saw leaves, flowers, bugs, a bike, cars, a city bus, stop signs and a person walking a dog. Everyone followed the rules and listened to the teachers! The kids were very tired and hungry when we got back to school. It was a great first Out and About!!
