The clothing unit

As we study clothes, we will learn concepts and skills in literacy, math, science, social studies , and the arts. We will use thinking skills to investigate, ask questions , solve problems, make predictions , and test our ideas.

FireSafety

911

The children loved looking at the large truck and learning about fire safety. Our firemen were wonderful! Our special thanks to Ethan, Jimmy and Cole for giving us a WOW moment to kick off the clothing unit..

This week we learned how to take care of our clothes. Our clothes become dirty and they must be washed. The children used liquid, power and bar soap to find out which soap created more bubbles. After our experiment we determined that the liquid soap created more bubbles.

Goldilocks

The children were amazed to see Goldilocks on our playground. I used Goldilocks to help the children understand the concept of large, medium and small.

ORDER BY SIZE

Young children practice spatial reasoning by size by ordering objects from largest to smallest.This helps them with a range of activities from building more solid block towers to writing their name. Ordering by size also prepares children for more complex math such as putting numbers in order (1,2,3) and problem solving. During this activity your child had to put the bears in order from largest to smallest. After we used our plastic bears it was time to cut and glue in order from largest to smallest.
