This week we took a little time off from our horse study to continue updating our centers. We focused on Big Blocks and Puppets. We are working on adding literacy to our centers by providing opportunities for the children to read and write in each center. This is a great way for them to cultivate their reading and writing skills with a purpose as well as communicate and share what they are doing! This also promotes problem solving, critical thinking, and conversation. We reviewed our "I can..." lists and discussed materials that we wanted to add to each center. Blaire said, "In Big Blocks we added pencils, crayons, and a Big Block journal. In the journal we draw what we made and we write about what we made. We also added small blocks and the animals. Jordyn and Symia said, "In the Puppet Center we added a box with a Play journal, pencils, crayons, and scissors. The scissors are for making tickets and invitations." We had our Grand Re-Openings of Big Blocks and Puppets! We are so excited about the new possibilities for these centers!
