Neighborhood Walk and Gardening




This week we continued our study of shapes and houses. In small groups the children took a neighborhood walk. Armed with paper and pencils the children studied the houses that they saw. They sketched the shapes of the houses and compared notes. It was fun watching them work together to find all of the familiar shapes. We are planning to take another walk and visit a house under construction.

The children are becoming landscape architects as we design our special garden. We are turning the soil and pulling the grass. The children are designing where the bulbs will be planted. They are excitedly looking forward to the spring when their bulbs will pop out of the ground. We are also designing a window box for the classroom. We are planning on planting string beans, bulbs and some green plants. The children want to beautify our classroom.
