Huff and puff houses

For our Three Little Pigs science lab, partnerships had to work together to construct three houses- one made of straws, one made of Popsicle sticks, and one made of blocks. We then tested them to see which one was strong enough to stand up to the wolf' shuffling and puffing! 

Pigs, pigs, pigs!

We used some of the shapes we have been practicing to make a pig face. We 

Practicted on whiteboards and then drew them with black crayon outline and got to paint them pink! 

Math centers

We are settling into the routine of math centers, learning how to take out and put away materials as well as how to switch centers when time is up. This week, some of our centers have a work product, or objective. At the pattern block center, children have to try to make pattern pictures. 

Children rolled a die and moved that number of spaces in a follow the path game.

Free exploration at the button center allowed children to sort the buttons by shape, color, size, and number of holes. Others made pictures with buttons and counted them into different piles. 

Children made different kinds of structures with these building materials.

Children used their hands to roll playdough into different shapes.
