It was an active Tuesday!

It was teamwork Tuesday in the Indoor Movement Room. The children were given tape, scooters, and wide open space. They decided to construct a track for all of the scooters to follow. They all took turns using the different colored tape to decide the directions. Everyone followed the line while one student would lay down the tape to test out the track. After the track was complete they each took a turn going all the way around the room. Along with the track several garages where taped off, and the track was expanded into several different routes. It was a lot of creative thinking and group discussion to make the track work, but in the end there were eight different tracks and three different garages.

Today was a big day for trains. Many children were engaged in the Maple room using the train cars. The children were guiding the trains all throughout the classroom. When the trains would run out of gas they would go to the gas station which was located in a certain area of the classroom to pump it into the train vehicles. They also implemented legos into their "train track" by building structures for the trains to move through.
