This morning we had round and square objects in the pool. We talked about objects that are circles and squares. During morning circle we identified words that start with R. We also sorted objects into two categories....things we can eat and things we can play.
Ms. Michelle was outside today! The kids completed the obstacle course forward, sideways and backwards. They walked on the balance beam, walked across the big and small circles and then stood on the blue wobbly circle and threw a bean bag into a shape. For finger fun the kids put together different puzzles.
Our story today was "My Truck is Stuck!" by Kevin Lewis and Daniel Kirk. The dump truck got stuck in a hole! A car, moving van, jeep and school bus try to help pull the truck out of the hole...but it didn't work. Finally the tow truck came to the rescue and helped pull the truck out of the hole. After reading the story the kids compared 3 different trucks....a fire truck, garbage truck and tow truck. We talked about what each truck had and what the trucks can do.
All the trucks had one thing in common...tires. For science we decided to test which tires are betters, circle tires or square tires. The kids knew a circle had no flat sides and a square had 4 flat sides. We predicted the circle would roll faster and be a better tire. We rolled both wheels down a ramp...the circle tires were the better choice! The kids took turns testing out the two kinds of tires.
The kids used cars to create their art work today. They dipped the car tires in red, yellow and blue paint. The used the tires covered in paint to create their artwork. If you look carefully you can see the tread of the tires. The kids loved driving the cars all around their papers!
At the end of the day we listened to transportation songs. We also talked about our Out and About tomorrow! We will use three different kinds of transportation...the train, walking and the bus! Don't forget to wear your speech garden shirts to school tomorrow!.
