Hello everyone!  What a beautiful weekend!  On Friday, we read Little Cloud and did a couple of cloud paintings to go along with the story.  We also read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and did a coloring sheet. 

Hello everyone!  We read Four Seasons for Little People and used watercolors to paint a spring picture.  For math, they worked on a number puzzle where they had to count objects, find the number, and written number word that matched.  Then they put it in order from 1-20.  We also played a Pete the Cat and the Missing Cupcake game that Stanton shared with the class.  We had a "Fun Friday."  :)

Hello!  On Friday, we read I Am Not Getting Up Today and reviewed the U sound.  We played "Subtraction Smash" to practice our math skill.  We also read a poem called "Plants" and watered our seeds. We are hopeful that they will soon start to grow.  We were able to get outside for a little while and also had some free play time inside as well.  

Hello!  On Friday, we read How to Trap a Leprechaun.  We also played "Musical Shamrocks" as we listened to a little Irish music.  We played a gold coin toss game to practice addition up to ten.  

Hello!  We read Swimmy.  We also had a choice to use watercolors to paint a seahorse or markers to color it. and then were able to use the paint or markers to create a picture if they wanted to. For addition, we played a ladybug addition game.  

Hello!  We read A Picture for Harold's Room and I Am a Rainbow and colored rainbows.  To practice number bonds, we used a deck of cards and manipulatives to complete number bonds.  During free playtime, they also wanted to do some coloring sheets.  

Hello!  On Friday, we read Usborne Lift-the-Flap Colors and practiced reading color words.  We did a heart coloring sheet to go along with this.  We also played a bowling game to practice making number bonds.  

 

Hello everyone!  On Friday, we watched to see if the groundhog saw his shadow.  We read Pete the Cat and the Bad Banana.  We also did a polar bear painting activity.  We spent some time playing inside and enjoyed the some time outside as well.  It was such a beautiful day!  :)

Hello!  On Friday, we read The Hat and did a torn paper/coloring hedgehog sheet.  They colored Hedgie from the story and glued paper prickles on him.  Camille also brought in a couple of books for me to read.  One of them was called Over in the Ocean.  We also listened to the song version of the story.  We read a story called As an Oak Tree Grows and then worked on finishing our dot sticker activity.  

We read The Snowy Day and compared what Peter did in the snow to what we do in the snow.  We also compared it to other books we read this week about winter/snow.  We then did a snowman name craft.  We also did a dot sticker activity provided by Eliza's mom.  They did not finish this, so we will work on it next Friday as well.  I hope you all have a great week!

Hello!  We danced to a song called Gingerbread Man Move and Freeze and played a game called "Roll a Gingerbread Man."  We sang Joy to the World and did a handprint craft to spell JOY. We also spent some time playing in the classroom and the "Castle."  

 

 

Hello!  On Friday, we read Mooseltoe and colored Christmas trees using markers, crayons, colored pencils, or a mixture of all of them.  They all put so much time and effort into coloring these trees that it took a little while for them to finish.  We took a couple of breaks to have snack and play time, but they kept coming back to finish their trees.  They are all doing such a wonderful job playing and working together, and I am so proud of all of them.  

Hello!  After our morning circle, we played with jingle bells and danced to Christmas music.  We colored and glued together a reindeer puzzle and decorated a gingerbread person.  We also spent some time playing.
