First You Buy the Wood

The Unicorn children have been learning about making a plan before they enter into play. This helps children to organize their thoughts, define roles when entering play, and explore the centers in our classroom with greater meaning. Today we reviewed the many steps involved in Kira's plan when making menorahs to bring into our classroom. We learned that Kira went to the store, bought the wood, sawed the wood into pieces, used her drill to put holes in the wood, and THEN brought the menorahs into our classroom for us to decorate and paint. Our menorahs can hold candles or crayons, and we had a great time learning how they were made and decorating them for our families.
