Transportation and movement...
Today the preschoolers spent lots of time playing outside continuing to explore transportation and movement. We have been noticing the different ways the children move around the environment. Today while we were going outside we walked through the hallway and when we got outside the children ran to the shed. They peddled and pushed the bikes. Some of the children jumped into the sandbox and crawled under the climber. There were some children who rolled down the hill and some who climbed onto the bench.. The children noticed cars driving by. Some went fast and some went slow. We waved as they drove past. A group of children were running around pretending to drive their toy cars all around the environment, travelling to different places. The preschoolers are still interested in loose parts and transporting them around the room in baskets. As we continue to observe the children engaged in play and communicating with each other, we notice the many ways they are exploring transportation in their day to day lives. For example, when I arrived from my lunch break I was immediately asked the question “how did you get here?” by H. Ez.
As we continue learning about and exploring transportation with the preschoolers we look forward to hearing their curious questions and interesting discoveries.
These photos from today show some of the many different ways the children are exploring transportation through play. From transporting sand from one bucket to another to transporting their bodies around their environment.
