Monster Pancake Movies!

Monsters!

Our costume shop opened this week in dramatic arts. The kids can try on different costumes, "purchase" them, and make costume sketches. It has been fun and entertaining to watch!

We traced spooky objects in the fine motor center.

We built monster glyphs. This was our 1st glyph and they will be displayed in the hall.

Baker made a surprise visit to the class. I think she was a little overwhelmed by all the love!

Go get'em cowboys!

We spent the week with Mrs. Robinson building Big Green Monster windsocks. It's added a little spookiness to the room.

A very nice witch

We did a GREAT job creating real and make-believe patterns in the math center!

In the writing center, we sorted real and make-believe pictures. We then had to match the word to the picture and write the words.

Bean Bag Toss!

Well..it was another week of no recess due to all the rain. We didn't let that stop us from getting a little rowdy! We had a bean bag toss! Yes..ceiling tiles were knocked out of place, but it sure was fun working on using directional words! Can your child identify his left and right?

Special Music Selection!

We enjoyed Drew playing his harmonic for us. We had to use our sense of earring to guess which song he played. We guessed it! It was Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

I Spy a Fun Week!

We loved using our 5 senses to cook popcorn and eat it!

Using our sense of sight to find patterns in a book

We used our sense of sight to find these butterflies in the "grass".

These was our last week of retelling fairy tales in dramatic arts.

We always find a fun project to work on in the fine motor center.

We used our sense of touch and sight to sort coins in the math center.

Taste Testing

Some of them had to make a quick run to the bathroom after tasting the baking chocolate. I told them to take a small bite!

This week at my table, I gave each child a cup of food. They had to taste it and decide if it is sweet, salty, bitter, or sour. Then they had to put a picture of the food on their taste testing graph. I laughed all day watching the kids eat items like red bell peppers, baking chocolate, and drinking lemon juice. Here are a few funny pictures of them working hard.

Oh the Adventures!

This week was a mixture of a lot of fun activities. We introduced senses in the science center, read a lot of rhyming books during whole group, and we are still studying fairy tales with Mrs. Robinson. After reading the book the Magic Stick, we went on the nature trail behind the school and searched for our perfect magic stick. We then drew a picture of what our magic stick could be used for, glued the magic stick on our paper (Mrs. Williams used her special teacher glue that really stunk up the room the entire day), and then we dictated to Mrs. Williams what our magic stick was used for. Our fabulous art work and writing is displayed in the art center!

In the fine motor center, we had to trace fairy tale characters. We really did a great job with this!

We used our sense of touch to try and figure out what was in the box! We had to draw what we felt. Let's just say we were shocked to pull out animal bones!

During whole group math we had to sort objects two different ways.

Zero the Hero visited us on the 30th day of school. He also delivered a tasty zero snack...Smarties!

They were acting out Sleeping Beauty!
