Thursday we learned
about flying in the air.
After circle
time, we used our magnifying glass to search our theme poster for things flying
in the air.
Our first
activity for the day was called Toss and Land. I made a paper airplane for Miss
M and we’d try to toss and land our plane in a box a little ways away. Miss M
got super excited and just wanted to throw it all over the living room and
wasn’t paying any attention to the box.
She had so
much fun with this. She played with it for over a half hour. I was pretty
surprised at how entertained she was with something as simple as a paper
airplane (note to self!!).
Next, we got
to make a flying disc. We had two paper plates. On one paper plate I traced
Miss M’s hand and on the other I traced one of her feet. We decorated both our
plates and then I stapled both together to create a flying disc.
Our last
activity we did for the day was called Moving Air (so sorry I didn’t get any
pics of this one! It was hard holding/moving the sheet and trying to take pictures at
the same time). I explained to Miss M that wings help a bird to fly and we
pretended to have winds and ran around moving our arms up and down. Then we
grabbed a sheet and worked together to move it up and down. We experimented
with putting a light object (feathers) under the sheet and then on top of the
sheet to see what happens. Miss M thought this was hilarious.
Our book
that we read today was Benjamin the Bear Rides on an Airplane. This was another
super cute story about a little bear who flies on an airplane for the first
time to go visit his grandma.
