Numbers and Letters!
We were noticing that our numbers in our room that we made at the beginning of the year have been falling apart so we thought we would make some new numbers. Well, can I just tell you that the children were ALL OVER making these new numbers out of toilet paper rolls! They worked so hard with their Butler teachers to construct the numbers. Tevona and Emily had the brilliant idea of stepping on some of the rolls to flatten them and make it easier to manipulate. At the end of the day we had a discussion about what we should do next with them. We gave three choices that the children then voted on. The first choice was that we could keep them the way they were. The second choice was to put fabric on them. The third choice was to paint them. After each child voted it was apparent that painting them was the way it was going to be. Tomorrow we are going to start painting so I am excited to see them continue to progress!
We are also replacing our letters we have on our word wall so today the children started doing a tape resist with letters. They took lamination and made the letters with tape. Tomorrow we are going to paint them. After the paint dries, we will peel the tape off, and the letter will be revealed!
Numbers 4-7!
