Field trip to Home Depot

We live in Utah, so we are all very familiar with these orange and reflective yellow vests! Now, your kids know why they are worn, and what some of the jobs are that construction workers do around the town.

We also talked about road signs, and what some of them mean and how we can follow them.

We like to build just as construction workers do, and your kids are great at it! Here they are using their imaginations to build with our magnetic building Magformers.

We also used our fine motor skills to use our screw drivers and built up some transportation vehicles. 

For a math center, we had fun with hammers and nails. We rolled the die, counted the number it landed on, and hammered that many nails (golf tees) into our foam squares. 

And, our writing center was CAUTION tape writing. We traced the letters in the word caution with our tracing paper.

And, just like most construction workers, we played in the dirt!

We're ready for our field trip to Home Depot! We can't wait to see the supplies and tools that are used to build our homes and other structures.

AND

we had a great time at Home Depot touring their store and earning a pin and certificate by building our own craft! Thank you Home Depot for taking such great care of us! Just a reminder for you parents....I will be getting their aprons as soon as they come in, and every first Saturday of the month you can visit their store to do a craft and earn another pin.
