Another fun week of learning and playing. It's been a short week because of an extra day off but alot of fun. Today we did a craft. Anytime they don't have total freedom at art I call it a craft, though today while there were some guidelines there was also much freedom of expression as you can see.
The directions were to take 1 small and 1 large rectangle and 4 circles to make the fire truck.
They then took 2 long and 5 short pipe cleaners to make the ladder. Now, the glueing of the pipe cleaners with regular glue was a bust and as you can see some made pools of glue to try.
Next year we will use craft sticks and tooth picks for our ladders. I was able to get some information while they were allowed freedom in their very creative interpretations of fire trucks. I learned who knew the difference between short and long, and large and small. I also learned who was able to count to 4. Hopefully they learned those things in the process of direction following at craft time. LOTS OF FUN!!!!!
