I hope everyone is staying safe and warm in the snow today!

We had a lot of fun today exploring maps! Check out what we did!
We explored maps as we played with cars on our classroom rug. We discussed that our rug might need some safety signs to be sure that all the cars are safe. We discussed the different kinds of safety signs that we could use. We decided to make safety signs for our map rug. We will work on the signs at the end of the week! Thinking through consequences of actions can help children learn self-regulation.

We enjoyed investigating our new maps!
Some of the children made their own treasure hunt using the new maps! They worked together to decide where to put the treasure, and followed the maps to find it. The children are learning that maps are symbolic representations of concrete things. They are also learning how to use a map, and how to work together!
We had fun painting with yarn today! The children exercised their fine motor skills and expressed creativity. The paintings turned out great!
We used shoe boxes and pieces of the dollhouse furniture to create a representation of our bedrooms at home. Then, we looked at the representation of our bedrooms and drew a map of our room based on what we saw in the box. The children are learning the steps to make a map, and they are also practicing how to create a written representation of a concrete object.
We then used straws to blow watercolor paint to make a fun collaborative art creation! The children are learning to work together to create a beautiful piece of art.
