Construct, Create, and Build

This week we started making construction vests.  The children painted paper bags with bright colors.  Next week we will add tape to the vests.  Miss Maria (our Xavier student observer) taught a lesson this week.  The children enjoyed the story she read and building a crane with shape cut outs.  We also used marshmallows and toothpicks to build.  The children are getting very creative with our building projects! Many of the children have been very interested in puzzles this week.  Working puzzles helps children develop problem solving, visual discrimination, motor planning, and fine motor skills.  They also develop concentration and coordination.  Next week we will finish up out study of construction and start some end of the year projects.
