Tools and Construction

Hello Families!
I hope you all enjoyed the Spring Break and the warmer weather! As we enter a new month, we are looking forward to a new theme. We will be learning about all types of construction and tools. These next two weeks will allow the children to use some of their problem solving skills as they construct buildings and fix things within the classroom. The children will have fun as they will use the tools to fix things and solve problems. The first week will be devoted to learning about tools which are used to construct things, while the second week we will learn about tools we use in the kitchen to create delicious food items.
