Group Meeting:  We have started a new month!  We will put turkey stickers on our 10 frame as we count how many days we have been attending school.  

Story:  The story for today was Construction Site Mission: Demolition by Sherri Duskey Rinker.  The construction equipment has arrived to demolish a building that is old and in disrepair.  The main character is the wrecking ball.  After the wrecking ball knocks down the building, the other equipment comes into separate the materials for recycling.  

Science:  The children experimented with a wrecking ball that I made using PVC pipe, a bouncy ball, and some string.  We tried knocking down wooden blocks and foam blocks.  I used the words energy and force to describe what was needed to knock down the blocks.

You might want to check out these videos about other balls that do work.

Shape Hunt:  In your child's packet, you will find a paper with shapes in boxes.  Cut the boxes apart and tape the shapes around your house without your child seeing where you are placing them.  Give your child the other paper and ask them to find the shapes that you have put up.  When they find the shape, have them draw it on their paper.  How many shapes can your child identify?  Please indicate this on their paper.
