In connection with our Houses and Homes theme, the children explored building materials. Some of the materials were found in our schools toolbox and others were a gift from the construction workers next door. The children learned new vocabulary words and were able to have hands on experience working with some of the tools. After the multisensory learning experience, the children were encouraged to create their own toolbox.
Purpose:
to increase the children’s receptive and expressive vocabulary of terms related to Houses and Homes
to provide a hands on learning opportunity in which the children could use their senses to related to the materials and vocabulary
to provide the children with the opportunity to express what they learned through art based on their individual learning experience
