Oh..The Places We've Been and The Thing We've Done!
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! We had a fun week reading Dr. Seuss books and completing Dr. Seuss activities. Check it out!
We traced a hat and painted it to look like the Cat in the Hat. 
We ate green eggs and ham and graphed if we liked it.
This was our graph before we tasted it.
In the writing center, we read a Dr. Seuss book and tallied how many times we found the words: I, and, the, my and you.
We enjoyed playing the board game: Green Eggs and Ham.
In the math center we put Cat in the Hat numbers 1st-31st, number words 0-10, and numbers 1-31 in order.
We had to practice counting 1st-31st. It gets tricky at 20th.

Mapping America!
We started our week by completing our unit of study on Presidents and American Symbols. We then started learning about maps. We created maps and read many types of maps. 
To celebrate the end of our study on America, we baked an American Flag cake.
We discussed how you have to read the directions and follow the recipe if you want what your cooking to turn out correctly.
We discussed how you have to measure and tell time when cooking.
We thought it was neat that our cake started off as a liquid and then baked into a solid.
Yum! Yum! It was beautiful and delicious!
In the games and puzzles center, we recreated a maps of a living room. We used doll house furniture.
building sentences in the writing center
learning to tell time to the hour and half-hour

We have had a fun time working in our town center. One day I overheard there was a robot loose in the city and taking it over.
In math we added 50 star stickers to our flag. We put them on in 5 groups of 10 and then practiced counting by 10s.
