Blocks Area

We read several books over the course of exploring the blocks center.

One we might read 

We always of course read Pip Builds.

I have a binder with a cute cover from HERE.

Week 2 or sooner, in the blocks area, I intro build challenges.

One because then I take their photo and later display it on our smartboard.

Two because I print out the photos and pop them into a binder.

My plan is to print out at least 4 different pictures to each page.

I do want to send home their pages at the end,

so I will make a page for each child and personalize it.

So in the beginning, I used THESE posters to spark their interest.  

I intro those quickly at our morning meeting.

 

Last week of September

 In our last week of September we:

*Made a writing chart )I tried making it a marker/crayon box. 

I still have to draw/make visuals next to words.  

In our block area,

I have two building ideas.

When they build a tower they get their name on the

Frog Challenge Board (it's just a piece of cardstock)

laminated and on the line it says what the challenge is.

On the shelf above are additional cards

for the beginning of the year.

Here were our morning bins last week.

They move to our centers the following week.

I do that the first month of school.
