This weeks theme was Things That Go, so for play time there were toy cars and trains. At Circle Time our letter bag had only pictures of things that began with the short A sound in it. One of the students, Garrett, had a birthday!!!
The first activity we did was make maps. First we drew the places we like to go to on our maps. Then we took a toy car, dipped it's tires in black paint, and drove roads on our maps!!!
A little later, we made our own cars!!! We took a cardboard box and glued on tires, a license plate, and head lights. We also screwed on a steering wheel! Some of the children even added decorations to their cars.
During snack time we went to a drive-in movie theater!!! The children got in their cars and picked-up a snack from Miss Lauren. Then we watched Mater and the Ghost Light. The children had a lot of fun!
After the movie, we went outside to play with our cars. We played Red Light, Green Light and we drove through an obstacle course. The children lined up behind Miss Lauren, and we drove in between barrels.
Our final activity was riding a "train." Each child got a ticket, which Miss Lauren collected before seating them. Then while we drove along Miss Lauren would tell us about where we were. For example when Miss Lauren said "We're about to go up a hill!" Everyone leaned back like they were going up a hill. We went on the train ride until it was time to go. When you're in preschool it's so much fun to always GO, GO, GO!!!

I saw Landon's car the other day...Those were so cute! You will have to tell your mom that I know a couple of boys in the preschool/nursery at co-op who would enjoy that. :-)
