Construction Trucks, Triangles, and Winter Scenes

What fun we had this week!


We worked with nesting blocks.

 We played with construction trucks AND put a construction truck puzzle together.


We created triangle collages.  We love triangles!  It's our shape of the month!


We created winter scenes.

It was super fun creating the snowy background.

Here we are waiting to go in the cafeteria to sing "Rudolph" with our Pre-K friends.
The whole school was there.  Each grade level sang different songs.
We did a great job!

Have a wonderful winter break!!!  See you all in January!

Rudolph, Jingles, and More!

We had a great week!



We love our playground!


More sticks...more feathers!
 

We created reindeer headbands by painting sentence strips with red and green paint.
We created antlers by tracing our hands and cutting the hand shapes out.
We're Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!!!
 

We participated in the Jingle Jog!
Every student at Zilker ran around the track while jingling their bells.
We loved this school-wide fitness event!
 

"Baby Fish" is one of our favorite songs to dance to!

Castles, Green, "We are scientists!", and More!

What a great start to our week!

We put together a castle puzzle AND played with castle blocks!

Puzzle Team Celebrating

It's so much fun to build amazing structures with magnet blocks.

There's nothing better than practicing the alphabet with a friend.

We painted pine trees with green, our color of the month.

We love playing with our bag of green objects.


We painted stars blue.  These stars were made using two triangles.





Our stars look awesome!

We decided to do an experiment.  Everyone filled balloons with water.  We put the balloons outside when it was predicted to freeze.  Well, it didn't freeze.  So, we decided to put them in the classroom freezer.  The next morning look what we found when we opened the balloons!  Yes, when water is frozen, it becomes ice!

"It's slippery!"

"It's cold!"

At the end of the day, we observed that the ice had all melted.

 
We ended the day with some shaving cream fun.  We practiced shapes, letters, and numbers.

Foxes, Fun, and "F"

What a great week we've had!


We drew and wrote on dry erase boards.
We erased them when we were finished.
 

We created foxes with the letter "F" project we did earlier this week.
These foxes are fabulous!
 

We created headbands using watercolors.
 

Fun with friends at the playground!
 

We glued letter "F" objects onto letter "F" paper.
We practiced the letter "F" sound.

Luminarias, Puzzles, and the Letter "F"

We've had a great week so far!

 

We decorated paper bags.
These will be luminarias for the Zilker  Holiday Sing-a-Long.


We love working together on puzzles!
 

The triumphant puzzle team!
 

We painted the letter "F" brown.
Just wait to see what we're going to make with them!
 

Our luminarias took all day to dry
because we used so much glue! 
They're beautiful!
