Suitcase!

Hello Parents, 
      Today we start our journey around the world, learning about... It's a small world! We discussed what you might find inside a suitcase.  For our craft we made our very own suitcase, and passport. Before making our project we asked, what do you think a passport is? A passport is a little book that has your picture, name, and address. Then you get stamps in it when you go to other countries!
































During circle time we marched in a circle and pretended to carry our suitcase during the days of the week song.Today we started a new theme so we talked about all the new things we will be learning about.

We also played Red Birds. During this game we talked about what is too big to fit in a suitcase? I held up the red bird and asked what color is it? I encouraged the children to shout out the color. We explained that this bird love the color red and that each child needed to fly around the room and look for something red and decide if it could fit in a suitcase. After every child has a turn we emptied the suitcase and talked about each item.


We also played lets go traveling. We discussed what we saw in our new story telling poster. then we pointed to what we saw and discussed each item. Then we looked around the room for things that were similar. We also counted each item that was the same. There were 12 things that were the same in the 4's room and 14 things in the 3's room.
