Tuesday in Pod B

Hello Pod B Families!

It was another exciting Tuesday in the Pine and Maple classrooms. The children had a day full of creating, cooking, appointments, building friendships, and exploring.
Clay was introduced into the classroom last week, and this week the children are learning how to use tools with the clay. They seem to really enjoy getting their hands in the clay and learning the proper way to use the tools. Some children also went down to the kitchen to help make yummy pear sauce.
The children also learned about camera usage in small groups, and were able to learn about the cameras available to them. They enjoyed taking pictures of each other, and then going back and looking at them.
Some children have also shown a great interest in the technology in the hallway, and spent a great deal of time typing and creating word documents on the computers. They explored with changing the font size, color, and style. Not only were fonts explored on the computers, but so were shapes and shape sizes.

The have also shown a great interest in animals and the habitats that they live in. With the materials provided in the construction area there has been a lot of building of animals homes and habitats.
The day ended with fun movement activities at both the pine and maple group meetings, and a safety lesson on tornado and fire drills so our children will always be safe!

It was a fun Tuesday and we look forward to the rest of the week!
