1st and 2nd SNOW

We just got a dusting, but that was all they needed to be able to pull each other around in these bucket sleds.  They had a blast!!

So good for cooperation and for building muscles too.

Just look at that smile!

Our 2nd snow was big enough to make a mountain for sledding!

So tricky getting the right balance!

Preschoolers hard at work!  

COMMUNITY MAP

After drawing individual maps, we worked together and helped each other to make a large community map.  The children cut strips of construction paper and glued them down for roads.  They also drew different community buildings including houses, a library, bank, school, hospital and market.  They glued the different community buildings and added a train track.

BLOCK CATERPILLAR

Continuing with our October theme of community, I asked the children what we could build together out of blocks and they decided to build a caterpillar.  Each child added one block for a few turns and then they all started to work together and help each other to make a giant block caterpillar!  

Here they are adding the legs.

Almost finished!!

We took tape measures out to see how big our caterpillar was, and we did a little measuring of our bodies first! :) 

The caterpillar was 71 inches long!!  The children were interested in measuring things for more than a week after this activity.
