The educator has chosen to do a project on cars with the children based on their observed interest in vehicles. Since September, the children have been engaging in pretend play involving driving cars and labeling dealerships. Starting the week of November 5th, the educator will lead activities focused on cars to help broaden the children's knowledge and learning. During this time, the children will share what they know about cars and want to learn, learn interesting facts, and compare looks of different vehicles.

1. Dear Parents/Guardians:
The reason I have chosen this topic to do my project on is because since I have started my
placement here at St.Bonifce which was in early September I notice that your children read
books about cars, during indoor and outdoor play the children will pretend to have drive-thru,
using bikes or chairs as cars and pretend to drive to stores around their community. One day I
helped the children draw roads and together we labelled dealerships that vehicles came from.
Since October 2nd
based on the cues and interest that your children show for cars,I have been
working with them on brainstorming ideas on cars. After brainstorming ideas and collaborating
with your children we will put our ideas into activities under developmental domains which will
help your children broaden their knowledge on cars and experience new learning opportunities.
The week of November 5th
I will be here all week where I will be doing activities with your
children based on cars. This will help to expand your children’s knowledge on cars and
hopefully have them learn some new and fun facts about cars.
During this time the children will:
-Share ideas on what they know about cars, and what they would like to learn
-They will be learning interesting facts about cars (how a car works or where do cars come
from).
-Compare differences on the looks of cars-colours, shapes, sizes, and texture of wheels
The brainstorming and developmental domain web will be posted October 23rd
, 2012.
Sincerely,
Tanuja
