Today, we read Things That Go! In our small groups, we explored matching letters that we on cars to letters on a paper parking lot and we found things that would roll down a ramp. We rolled cars and a cylinder block down. We talked about the wheels and the cylinder being round. For our large group, we made license plates with our names on them. Ms. Ashley came back to play with us for today! We had a great day!

Today, during circle time we read Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo. For our large group we painted cut outs of airplanes using paint dotting. For one of our small groups we chose toy cars from around the room, and stacked blocks inside of them too see how many we could fit. After getting all that we could inside or on top, we counted them! For our other small group we drove trains on rail roads covered in shaving cream! It was almost like we were driving through some snow! We had a fantastic day!

Today, during circle time we read Hot Rod Hamster. For our large group, we used car and truck shaped stamps to stamp pictures! For one of our small groups, we drove our cars on the white line of the highway, or by the way it feels, the bumpy line! We took toy cars, and drove them over bubble wrap and were able to hear and feel it pop! For our other small group, we used pattern books and blocks to repeat and fill in the blanks of the patterns shown! We had an awesome day!

Today, we welcomed our new friend to CLC! Just in time to learn about transportation with us! During circle time, we read You Can Drive an Automobile. For our large group, we made stoplights! We glued cut out pieces of red, yellow, and green paper onto the corresponding circle. For one of our small groups, we did different types of car puzzles! For our other small group, we worked a car wash! We took our cars from our classroom, grabbed some sponged, and threw them in a soapy tub! We got our cars all clean, and now we know how we can help wash the cars at home! We had a terrific day!

Today, we got to welcome a new friend! We also got to eat with our Star of the Week's Mom during breakfast, and hear all about his Star of the Week board before circle time. During circle time, we read Sheep in a Jeep. For our large group activity we made some mud tracks! We drove our toy cars through brown paint, and then drove them on our paper to see what kind of tracks were left behind! For one of our small groups we played a game on the iPad involving boats, planes, cars, and more! We took turns placing each item where they would go, such as a boat in the water! For our other small group we did some lacing. We laced blocks, but we also got to lace a few car shaped blocks! We had a super fun day!
