We got into the Kentucky Derby festivities a bit this week with our unit on Horses.
We made our own versions of Jockey Caps and ran a race around the room, galloping towards the finish line.
Learning about the various parts of a horse expanded our vocabulary and
we were most interested in the process of shoeing a horse. We couldn't think of another animal that wears shoes!
We painted some vibrantly colored horses and traced around real horseshoes at the art table.
Our scissor skills were put to the test as we cut out three different sized horses and glued them onto a larger sheet of paper.
Cutting on a curved line is much more challenging than fringing the edge or cutting along a straight line. Our friends are really working on those challenges.
