At one of our centers today the children listened to the story Forest Friends Go to School. This story taught the children how to take care of books. We will use clean gentle hands to turn the pages, and gently put our books away when we are finished with them. Each child then took a book out of our classroom library. We then went over the following concepts of print; where is the top of the book, the bottom, the front, the back, where do we begin reading, and how do we turn a page. Please take some time to review these concepts with your child when you read to them. To conclude the center we practiced putting the books away neatly on the shelf.
During centers today the children also made a book titled I See Wheels. They read each page to see how many wheels they were supposed to have for an illustration. Then they dipped an empty spool of thread in black washable ink and made wheel prints. We will reread the story one more time in class and then I will send it home. Please keep these little paper stories in a box or empty ice cream pail, for it is a wonderful idea to have story time at home to reread these books.
Today we also added wheels and details to the scrubbly bubbly car we made yesterday.
