The Owlets held their Construction Project Culmination on Wednesday morning, celebrating all the hard work and learning they have done over the last two months. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to view their work!
In addition to the activities we shared last week, the Owlets engaged in other enjoyable building exercises during their Construction Unit. With Ms. Erin, they constructed and painted a birdhouse and a bug abode to hang on their playground yard. Ms. Erin demonstrated the proper technique for handling a hammer safely while they practiced using it on the bird house. The students decided to gather some moss and leaves outside for the bird house after one student mentioned that she had previously created a birdhouse and had added fake grass to it to make the birds feel more at ease. The Owlets also noticed that the birdhouse was quite tiny, and considered the various kinds of birds that might be interested in using it.
For the past few weeks, Ms. Linda has been really busy with rolling up newspapers, and the Owlets were quite interested in seeing what she was up to! The students were very excited to use the rolled-up newspapers to build! Ms. Linda and the Owlets came up with a variety of unique buildings and participated in creating many collaborative structures.
The Owlets welcomed a guest expert, Jordan, to teach them how to build a picnic table. Jordan brought some very interesting tools to share with the Owlets, including a special screwdriver that had eleven different parts! Jordan also showed the students two different drills and a sander. The Owlets took turns twisting screws into the wood, and together they built a picnic table for their classroom! Once the table was built the wood was sanded to prevent splinters.
