Blog will be down for a bit.

The district is repairing my school computer. As soon as it's returned to me I'll get the blog up and running again. Thanks for loving my blog!!!

Winter, Reading, and Home Center Shopping

We've been having so much fun! We put bags in the home center and look what someone got at the store!  I love the ideas they come up with!  We've been loving our winter/holiday books in the reading center.  And, be sure to check out our Winter Wonderland scene on our classroom door!  It's looking great!!!  We've also been talking a lot about our color of the month, green, and our shape of the month, the triangle.

Feeling Wintry!

Today we created a background scene for our winter door decoration.  We used our hands to create a snowy ground cover and then, with our paint-covered hands we created snowflakes at the top!  Check it out on Monday.  We'll be adding our creations to it as we make them.  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Reindeer Headbands and Being Together

We've been creating reindeer headbands for the school sing-a-long.  Our song is "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer."  So...we created headbands by choosing different things to glue on a sentence strip.  We even cut or tore them ourselves!  We also cut out our hand shape to create antlers and then glued them near the middle.  They look great! 

We've been working really well together this week.  I love when kiddos choose do do things together!  Yay for teamwork!

Triangles, Stars, Gears, and Sandwiches

This week we've been working with gears every morning.  We are loving building structures with them and experimenting with what they can do.  It's really fun to put our toy dinosaurs on top of the gears and see how long they can stay on when the gears are moving.  We've had our home center filled with food and dishes and there has been a lot of sandwich making going on.  Our art project this week has been creating stars out of two triangles (our shape of the month).  We've painted them blue and have begun adding sparkly glitter to them as well.

Mr. Potato Head, Brown, Diamonds and the Letter H

We've had a great week!  Mr. Potato Head has been quite the conversation starter and such of source of cooperative play.  We even had fun trying on some of his accessories!  We've been learning about diamonds and some of us cut diamond shapes out of paper.  We've also been learning about the letter "H".  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!!!
