WEEK 7: We are Inventors!
So the last week of the TD Summer Reading Program has come and
For the last week of the reading club our theme was We are
Inventors! Instead of talking about
other people’s discoveries, I wanted everyone to find their own creativity and
have a Eureka moment themselves.
We started to discuss all the different inventions in the world,
like when you wake up in the morning it’s dark in your room so you turn on a light
switch to make it bright. We talked about how they all go to the library, if it
was by car, then they rode in an invention!
The first book we read was:
The next game we played was a game of “What time is it Mr.
Robot?” We went outside to enjoy the semi-warm weather and we definitely warmed up after being chased by the fast Mr. Robot when it was lunch time!
The second book we read was:
We went outside again to play with a huge parachute! We played
lots of fun games including cat and mouse, shark attack and of course the
mushroom! It was fun to run around outside for a while instead of always being inside!
The last book we read was:
This was one of my favorite books growing up and it was really
fun to read to the kids!
We had two crafts to do today, a paper airplane and marshmallow
robots!
For the paper airplane we decorating with stickers and markers
and then we had a little flying contest!
For the marshmallow robots, we had toothpicks and colorful marshmallows.
We didn’t start off with our robots; we started out with inventing buildings! I
gave the kids 2 minutes to build the best building they could! After they
finished the building we moved onto the robots! I loved how many different
variations of robots we saw!!
We had a little end of the summer celebration and we ate
cupcakes and talked about everything we were excited about for the next year!
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s reading
program! I hope to see all your wonderful smiling faces next summer! :)
