May Week 4: Traffic Signs

We started Large Group with the Circle Time Song.  Has your child taught you how we sing it in class yet?  This has brought out a lot of participation in our class.



This week we continue to revisit fun past activities.  This time it was traffic signs.  We discussed how we needed to drive safely (walking feet, no running) and follow the signs (Stop, Go, Slow, Do Not Enter, One Way).  Everyone took turns being drivers and traffic signs. We discussed concepts of fast/slow, and go/stop. We talked about following the directions. During Work Time the children asked to play with the signs again and decided on their own rules.





DO THIS AT HOME:  While you are out and about, look for traffic signs and see how many you can identify.  Draw a picture of the traffic sign and keep a tally list.  Talk about what you are looking for (color, shape, letters).

And here are some fun moments this week during Work Time.






Don't forget to send your child in proper footwear for playgrounds.  Sandals and flip flops do not have enough support for climbing ladders and running around the playground.  Make sure that shoes have a supportive base and stay firmly on the foot.  This weather has been so nice for playing outside.
