again, a skill that we do not expect mastery of.
this is simply planting of the seed. each house has an address. if you have a house, you have an address.
we made our paper houses again (many, many different designs!) with paper shapes and glue.
adding the photo in one of the windows was fun.
then the children had one on one time for me to look up their address and write it down.
at the end of the day we did a little “show and tell” with each project.
snip

snip
snip
cut that apple. cut that banana. cut that pear. cut those grapes.
we snipped paper over a table-sized piece of clear contact paper. i make the “fruit” pieces small enough that one full snip should cut off a piece of paper (does that make sense?). during this project, if a child was successful in cutting, i did not correct scissor holding.
then we covered the snips of “fruit” with another piece of contact paper, cut them apart and sent them home.
fruit salad. yummy, yummy.
i wish i could do this tomorrow.
and my favorite part: when asked what the children will do with those things, he says: i don’t know.

awesome. thank you, teacher tom.
may it be happy and sweet and not a bit scary
(though i did scare a friend at school today. he only came to circle time when i took off my wig. sweetheart!)
there were some friends wanting a ramp for cars one day. we taped a piece of posterboard to a low stool.
we kept it for our rolling puzzle pieces.
