Airplanes

Today we learned all about airplanes.  At one of the centers the children cut out an airplane and propeller.  We then assembled the two pieces and used crayons to add details to the plane.  At circle time the children flew their planes.  As the traffic controller I had the children fly based on if they were a girl or boy, if they were 4 or 5 years old, and by how many letters were in their names.

At another center the children made a book titled How Many? a transportation counting book.  We worked on pointing to each word in the sentence starting at the left and moving to the right.  We also worked on counting using one-to-one correspondence.  When we make paper books the children read them one more time to a buddy.  Once they are sent home please add them to your child's library, for a good book is read more then once.
