Today connections were made between last weeks investigation into construction workers
and the tools they use. The children were familiar with many of the tools we explored today
although they were challenged to recall the names.
Knowing the names was important to them so
we played games to facilitate this learning.
In one game we laid out the tools on the table and the children took turns closing their eyes while one child took a tool away. The other had to guess what tool was missing. The second game the kids made a memory game and enjoyed themselves so much they played it twice!
We watched a puppet play called The Carpenters Tools, about a group of tools who aren't getting along because they each think they're the most important tool. After the carpenter comes and uses them all of them to build a chair they realize they all important parts to the building community.
