I know it's been a long while since I've blogged. I have a lot of catching up to do, but I promise that it will be lots of fun. Almost as much fun as a preschooler discovering a sprinkled donut in her lunch box. Yup. THAT MUCH fun.
One of my art activities this week was to make robots with the children. They turned out really cool. Check them out.

I used dixie cups, aluminum tape, plastic pony beads, pipe cleaners, googly eyes and stick-on eyes, and masking tape. I was able to incorporate a lot into this activity. Counting the beads and eyes allowed the children to practice math. Stringing the beads alowed them to practice their fine motor skills. I pretty much just let them decide how they wanted their robots to look. Teacher initiated, but child-centered. I had fun. They had fun. I can't wait for our school's art show. These robots are taking up my workspace!
