Recycled Robots!


Do you know what a robot is?

Toys:  Tinker Toys, Linkin Blocks, and Khun Zuus.  (A special thanks to Dade and his mother Maren who donated a large box of Zhu Zhu Pets, Zuu Zuu Babies, Accessories, and Preschool and Pizza Parlor to our preschool!)

Snacks:  Ritz Crackers, Animal and Circle Strip Cookies.

After snack time, Kayson in a robotic voice said, "Hello.  How may I help you?"  Do you think his mother would let me buy this helpful robot?!

Circle Time Discussion:  Recycle and Robotic Definitions
What is a robot?  Some of the students didn't know what they were.
Recyle means to change something (waste) into reusable material.
Robots: A real or imaginary machine controlled by a computer made to look like a human or animal.
Kayson mentioned..."(A robot) is a machine that does things!  If you push a red button, he goes wild and is naughty.  If you push a yellow button, he slows down and the green button makes it go!"

We played I Spy "R" Words
roadster, race car, rocket, robot, radio, 

We have had some chasing and romping indoors and so we reviewed Safe Touch (meaning that we need to ask, "May I hold your hand?") at preschool.

Books:
*Find a Face by Francois and Jean Robert 
Can You See What I See? Dream Machine: A Picture Adventure to Search and Solve by Walter Wick.
