Excavator Day

We had a fun and exciting day with our Excavator Visit.  Kostas and his dad Mike told us about all the things that make an excavator work.  All the children had a turn sitting in the cab of the excavator to pretend to work the controls and then walked around the excavator to see everything up close.  The following are some of the things the children observed about the excavator.

The excavator is really big.

It has a bucket.

It has teeth.

It has a thumb.

batteries are dangerous (don't touch).

The excavator could chop down a tree.

It has controllers.

The excavator weighs 10,000 pounds (or 5 tons).

& 

so much more!

Popsicle Picnic

Mike drove the excavator up onto the flatbed trailer and made the bucket wave goodbye to us.  It was funny!

Thank you so much to Kostas & Mike for bringing the Excavator today.  The children had so much fun pretending to drive and learning so much about what an excavator can do.
