3-2-17 - Spring/bug theme

 Today was a wonderful day.  It was our extended day to make up for the missed day last week.  We were able to celebrate Kash today which was so fun!  Thanks for sending in cupcakes Nikki!  The kids were thrilled.

 Because it was an extended day I was able to take the kids to the park.  They had a wonderful time.  I didn't get pictures of the rest of our activities because we were just too busy but here are a few of them playing at the park.

2-28-17 = Dinosaur Theme

 Today was a great day!  We are continuing our study of dinosaurs.  This unit goes through the life cycle of a dinosaur from egg to fossil.  Today was all about fossils and bones.  The kids made a bone structure with glue and noodles.  Great fine motor skill.

 We also finished up a project that we had started last week.  They turned out great!

 Snack time is always a favorite!  Thanks to everyone who is so diligent about sending in snacks.

 Upstairs we worked on name recognition again.  This time matching dinosaurs with the letters of our name.  Most of the other kids did this last week but these two were absent so they did it today.

 We do centers every day.  This is a great time for the kids to explore their own interests.

 We worked with shaving cream today.  This is a wonderful sensory activity.

2-21

 I didn't get very many pictures today.  We were just to busy learning and having fun!  We are working on writing our names.  These are dry erase boards with their names printed on them.  After they have done these at school for a few weeks, I will send them home.

2-16 Dinosaur Theme - Valentine continued

We continued with our Dinosaur theme and Valentine week.  Such a good day!  I actually didn't get pictures of our table work time because I was just to busy but they did great!  They all passed off their colors.  We will start working on writing our names next week and I can't wait!    I sent home a little bit of homework to work on the number 7.  They were actually really excited about it.  Here are some pictures of our centers.

 This center is all about sorting patterns.

 This is great for fine motor skills and color matching.

 Sensory boxes!

 In individual instruction we worked on ABA and AABAA patterns.

We also worked on differentiation.  This is something that you could easily work on at home.  Put several identical items in front of them with one being different.  Ask them to tell you which one is different and why.  Easy learning opportunity.

2-14 Valentines Day Party!

 We had such a fun Valentines Day!  I hope you all got the cute surprises that the children made for you.

2-9 Dinosaur Theme

We continued our exploration of Volcanoes today.  What a fab day!
