Go Go Go

This week we learned about the letter G. Our theme was go. We talked about different forms of transportation all week. We really started on Wednesday and finished up today. Wednesday we talked about things that go on land like cars, trucks, tractors. We read his big truck book. In the morning he helped me glue together a car craft. It was hard, even for me, so I did most of the work while he colored a G picture and I let him glue the wheels on.
That afternoon he painted with cars. He loved that and did not want to stop.

Yesterday we talked about things that go on water. I did an activity with him to teach about things that sink and float. I had a tub of water and different objects. First I showed him how some sink and some float. Then I had him guess if it would sink or float. His guess was always float, no matter what it was. He was running around the house getting all kinds of things to throw in the water. Jax helped too. I found some stickers that I had in the cabinet with cars, airplanes, boats, etc. and let him stick them on his road he painted the day before. I drew a picture of water and sky and told him to separate the stickers by things that go on land, sky, and water. He didn't really get this at first, but he starting catching on towards the end.

This morning I helped him glue together a sailboat. This lesson taught about wholes and halves. He folded all of the pieces in half and then we glued it together to make a boat. He also colored pages to make this book.
