This morning in the Discovery room the children asked if they could get the train track out. Using their fine motor skills the children worked together to build the train track. One child asked if they could build a really big track so we moved the table to create a large open space for the children to extend the track as large as possible .
When the track was complete, another child asked if they could build bridges around the track. ย Using their gross motor skills, the children chose a variety of different sized blocks to create bridges around the track.
Incorporating technology into the play, we turned on the promethean board and played the noise of steam trains chugging along and sounding their horn.
Everybody had great fun pulling along the trains and cars on the track and pushing them under the bridges.
