We have been moving right along with our Speedometry unit. Last week the children built with the tracks. They figured out on their own how the tracks fit together, how they could make loops and ramps. The amazing part was watching the children teach both one another and the teachers how to use the tracks in new ways. They learned that if you put the track starting at a high point on the desk, the car will go faster. They looked at different road signs that you might see while driving. We loved hearing parents tell us how their children are pointing out these signs on the road.
It was so exciting that finally, on a Friday here at school, it was not raining! This meant that we got to go down to the field and have P.E. with coach Danny. We worked on foot/eye coordination. The children are getting good at looking at the ball and kicking it with their foot to either the wall or to a friend. Watching them run around with smiles on their faces is rewarding. We love that we had a nice day to go out and enjoy P.E. with good weather. The children were so excited to see that the room is beginning to look festive for Purim. They noticed right away that our board has changed and they made many comments. “Wow, what’s that, is a new holiday coming?” “I know that holiday!” “The next holiday starts with the letter P!” We began telling the story of Purim. What an amazing opportunity to talk about the courageous acts of these characters. The children are so excited to be learning about this holiday and we are all looking forward to celebrating together.
