Mittens, Winter Trees, Cash, Calendar, and More!

Learning is so much fun!

Everyone cut out two mitten shapes. We cut out both of them at the same time. (Ms. Parsons hole punched the edges.)

We used yarn with masking tape on the end (our "needle")
to sew around the edges.

We pushed the "needle" in one side.

Then we pulled the yarn through.

We were very focused on our work.

We did a great job finding the next hole.

Our mittens turned out great!



We worked together to create structures.

We created faces on the dry erase board.

We painted paper and used a craft stick to scratch drawings.

We worked together to make a train track.

I see you!

We love our tunnel...

...so, so much!

We created trees from twigs.

We glued on a trunk and then branches.

Squeeze!

Our trees are all different shapes and sizes.

Cash and Ms. Vreeland stopped by again!

Ms. Vreeland and Cash teach us about being kind.

We are so happy when Cash is in our classroom.

Cash let us look at his collar.

We are so gentle with Cash.

Cash is a great pillow.

We practice our position words...under, over, behind.

Thanks for visiting us, Cash and Ms. Vreeland!

We count the days of the month every day during Circle Time.

We work on puzzles every day.

We hid our hands in the snow.

We used our fingers to paint white snow on our winter trees.

We put sand in the top and when it goes out the bottom
it makes the sand wheels turn.

We cut the letter M out of paper. We observed that
we cut three triangles out of the paper to create it.

After we do our journals every morning we can choose to draw.

We created mice out of the letter "M"s we cut yesterday.

We gave them ears, eyes, noses, whiskers, and a tail.

We draw at the top of our dry erase board.
We draw at the bottom, too.

It's so much fun drawing with a friend.

Our awesome mice!

Letter M, Easel Painting, Stars, Dinosaurs, a Fabulous Visitor, and More!

It's been a great week full of learning!

We create long trains.

So many engineers!

Happy chalkboard people!

Everyone loves playing with dinosaurs.

We scoop, pour, stack, and drive in the sandbox with friends.

We create amazing art in Creation Station.

We create art at the easel, too.

We are creative.

We cut stars and then glued gold glitter on them.

Our sparkly stars!

We love going through our tunnel.

We're learning about the letter "M" this week.

We ask for letter "M" objects and practice the letter "M" sound.

We create art every day.

Our UT tower is done! We practiced making the Hook 'em sign.

Our awesome letter "M" art.

Three kids in a sandbox.

Cash, Zilker's certified therapy dog, visited us this week
with our school counselor, Ms. Vreeland.

We showed Cash our toys.

We had a lot of fun petting Cash. When Cash lay down we tried that, too.

We are so gentle with animals.

Cash really liked our shaker bottles.

We counted Cash's toes.

Cash is really big! But we're bigger.

Come back soon, Cash! We love you!

We added water to Insta Snow and created a lot of snow for
our toy boys and girls to play in. We'll make even more next week. So much fun!
