The Car Expert

In Cody's preschool, they do project based learning (remember the spiders?).  Well, this last quarter, they have been learning all about CARS and Cody is definitely a car expert.  The parents were invited to the culminating event this week and Cody got to show us everything he had learned, and though I had been following what they were doing, I was quite impressed...

He showed us how to check the oil and the other fluids in the car.  He knew right where they were and how to tell if we needed more.

After showing us all the different car parts (headlights, taillights, runner, muffler, etc), he showed told us all about the wheels- including how to tell if we needed new ones and how to change them.  Have you ever heard of the penny test??

How to change a tire:
take off the lug nuts (sound effects included)

 take off the rim

 then pull off the tire.  Then do the whole thing in reverse to put it back on (Cody did this in fast forward, so it was harder to get a picture.)  :)

Inside, Cody showed us their "Car Shop"and took down my order of what I wanted fixed on my car.

 They even had a waiting room!

We are so proud of our little car expert!  Not too long and I'm sure I will be putting all that knowledge to work in our garage!
