WHO USES BALLS?

During large group time we learned that children, parents, pets and construction workers use balls. Balls are used for sports, play and work.

WE MADE A RAMP.

What a blast we had with our ramp! The class put different types of balls on the ramp and they were happy to watch them roll down. We discussed gravity and forces that make a ball move.

HUFF AND PUFF - OBJ. 26 COMPARES AND MEASURES

The children were invited to participate in a measuring experiment this week. Each child learned that we can move a light ball with the air from our lungs. One child blew through a straw while two children held a measuring tape. We were excited to see how far the pom pom ball would travel! The class learned that a measuring tape has numbers on it and it is a tool used to measure distance.

NUMBER 11

The students had to touch and count eleven robots and then watercolor them.

WRECKING BALL

I told the children that a wrecking ball is used by construction workers to tear down old, unwanted buildings. The children watched a video of a wrecking ball and they could not wait to use one in the classroom. We used wooden blocks to make buildings and tear them down. As your child created a building they used their imagination , cooperated with others, and developed self -esteem.
