Balls!!

This is our last week of our ball study.  Our questions for the week include; have you been to a store that sells balls, what animals play with balls and finally, do heavy balls bounce ? The children have enjoyed playing with a variety of balls this unit.  We have golfed, played balloon tennis, creating ramps to see which items will roll down the ramps and finally painting with many different balls.

This week the story is the fable, Three Billy Goats Gruff, and the story Play Ball.    The students will try to retell the story of the goats using a bridge in the housekeeping area and discuss the balls used in a variety of games.  Our Math unit is patterning and we will begin our review of the letters in the alphabet with A,B,C,D,E.

Reminder:  This week is a three day week as DAP will be closed on Thursday, giving the staff the opportunity to go to the Ohio Association for the Education of Young Children conference.  This is an super way our staff can learn new things together.   We will return on Monday with many new ideas.
