Learning Goal: Buildings are constructed from many materials, such as wood, metal, glass, brick and stone. Magnets attract only certain kinds of materials.
- Reading= Raise the Roof by Anastasia Suen, Tip Tip Dig Dig by Emma Garcia, The Three Little Pigs by James Marshall or The Monster at the End of this Book by Jon Stone. Letter of the day= N is for nail.
- Science= Demonstrate how magnets attract and repel each other and certain materials. Walk around the house to find objects your magnet will stick to. Try the refrigerator, wooden cabinets, a glass window, nails, aluminum foil, coins, stone, paper, plastic, paper clips, keys, an eraser, steel or aluminum cans, etc. Emphasize the names of all the different materials you find in your house.
- Art= Gather a collection of toy machines and trucks having tread on the tires. Dip the tires in paint and roll over fingerpaint paper to make a design. Or, draw a picture of your house and decorate with materials used by grover and the three little pigs: straw, popsicle sticks and bricks (rectangles cut from sandpaper).
- Play= Visit a construction site. Play with tools in a toolbox (hammer a nail/golf tee, sand a block of wood, tighten a screw, etc.). Make and paint a house from a large refrigerator box. Or, take a ride in a wheel barrow!
Fun fact: Magnets are attracted to objects that contain iron or nickel.
