Tracing

During our morning outside, the children were using the crayons at the easel and wanted to try them out on the floor. In order to pursue their interests, Miss Michelle brought chalk out onto the cement for the children to explore. We talked about drawing around ourselves and a child asked Miss Michelle to trace her.

The children took turns tracing each other — and their teachers!

As part of our project on giraffes, Miss Maria brought our large giraffes out and we worked together to gently lay them on the ground and trace them from their horns to their hooves. This activity was a great opportunity for their language development. We compared and contrasted ourselves with the giraffes and talked about how the giraffe is much longer and taller than they are.

We look forward to exploring giraffes even further!
