Happy Monday!
We started our day in the car shop. We practiced writing skills as we checked each other into the shop.
The friends are learning self-regulation. They did a great job following our rule of only three people in the fixing room.
We love writing in our journals too! The journals provide another opportunity for meaningful writing.
During small group time, the friends played environmental print go fish. As you know by now, when children recognize environmental print, they are laying a strong foundation for future reading.
We also worked on building a car in our car shop! As we build the car, we use the knowledge that we have learned so far about cars. We are learning to express our ideas and listen to our friends as they express their ideas. We are practicing teamwork too! The car will also enhance our play in the car shop!
We first investigated the boxes, and discussed how we could use them.
Andrew showed his friends how to make each box into a car.
The friends then decided to use all of the boxes to make one big car.
Then, we brainstormed various parts of the car that we need to make.
Some of our ideas included:
the muffler
the oil filter
the oil checker
the engine
the license plate
the windshield wipers
the doors
the headlights
the steering wheel
The friends worked hard to create accurate representations of each of the parts.
JJ made a door for the car.
Bella and Megan drew what the muffler should look like.
We then added the wheels we made on Friday.
Devereux, Claire, Joey, and Ethan secured the car with tape.
Hunter was sure to put the muffler on the back of the car, since that's where the mufflers go.
Jack made headlights for the car.
Alma made a steering wheel
Sammie made the taillights.
Blake made some windshield wipers and a license plate.
Allison made the cords for the engine.
During Jesus time today we learned the story of Jacob and Esau. We learned that Jacob made a bad choice and tricked his dad. We also learned that no matter what we do, Jesus forgives us! We discussed how even though Jesus always forgives us, we still try to make good choices. Praise God for the gift of forgiveness!
