Tractors & Trucks

Trash Day.

Today was trash day - always an exciting day in our house because my son loves watching the garbage truck drive down our street.  Since we started out our day watching the garbage truck, I made 'Trucks & Tractors' our theme.

Today, we focused on the words:

• Tractor
• Garbage Truck
• In
• Out

Every activity we did today was centered around tractors or garbage trucks in some way.

We broke out the toy tractors and the sensory tub and worked on putting beans 'in'
the dump truck and then dumping them 'out.'  We watched YouTube videos of
tractors and garbage trucks.

We broke out every tractor and/or truck-related book in our arsenal and read
them over and over again, repeating and emphasizing the words 'tractor' and 'truck.'

We tried our hands at 'Dump Truck' still life.

We took apart and put together our tractor-themed wooden peg puzzle,
naming the tractors as we went.

Today's spoken words:

• 'Gar' (I'm giving him credit for garbage truck, here) 
• 'Bye' (said to the garbage truck as it left our street)
• 'Hi' (which tanslates into 'high five' which he was playing with Daddy).
