Wheels and Tires

Today we started off with the normal stuff....welcome song, talked about the weather, sharing time, etc.  Then we talked about the letter "D".  I asked who knew what a wheel was and no one raised their hand.  I don't really believe that no one knew but I explained what they are and by the end of the lesson, when I asked the question again, everyone knew what they were and where they could find them.  :)

After talking about wheels and tires, I read three books and they loved them except for the Thomas the Tank one.  Even I got totally bored during this one so I just stopped reading it.  Haha!  Then we had a snack of Nilla Wafers and carrot sticks.  Everyone gave me a good thumbs up sign at snack time.  :)  

After snacks we played a fun game where they held plates pretending they were steering wheels and I'd hold up either a green circle or red circle so they'd have to either pretend to drive or stop.  They loved it! (Despite their faces in that picture-haha).  I asked each one where they were going, what kind of car they were driving and how many wheels it had.  Here are their cute answers:

Mason:  Driving a shamu car to Sea World and his car had 69 wheels.

London:  Driving a barbie car to Sea World also and her car had 63 wheels.

Ethan:  Driving a police car to the airport and his car had 3 wheels.

So funny-I love hearing their answers! 

Then they wanted to play the real red light/green light game of course.  We colored some pictures of wheels and then had play time.  We missed Lucy and Matthew today!
