Today we had a great day at school.  The children enjoyed listening to the story My Truck is Stuck during reading time.  The main character in the story gets his truck stuck in a hole that the beavers have made in the road.  A car, a moving van, a jeep, and a school bus try to use teamwork to pull the truck out, but they have rotten luck and the truck stays stuck.  In the end a tow truck gets it unstuck, but in the mean time the beavers have taken all of the bones out of the truck.  The poor driver will certainly have a surprise when he goes to unload his truck. During centers today the children finger painted with pudding to make their own mucky truck.

During centers the children also worked with a partner to inquire about objects that can roll down a ramp.  Sharing with one another was put to the test during this experiment.  Today the children also made a stop light treat for snack.
