CELEBRATING VALENTINE'S DAY!

To celebrate Valentine's Day, we spent the week making things with hearts, playing with things that are pink and having a Valentine party where we shared valentines and ate yummy snacks.

We enjoyed our Valentine Party snacks. Thank you to the parents who helped make it fun! 

SCIENCE LAB - WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

IN OUR FIRST SCIENCE LAB, WE LEARNED ABOUT WEIGHING AND MEASURING THINGS AND THE TOOLS THAT ARE USED TO DO SO. WE USED RULERS TO MEASURE THINGS AROUND THE ROOM. WE THEN USED MEASURING CUPS TO FOLLOW A RECIPE TO MAKE SNOW!!!! NOW, THAT WAS REALLY FUN!

TO SPACE AND BEYOND!

WE LOVED OUR UNIT ON SPACE. NOT ONLY DID WE LEARN ABOUT EARTH AND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, WE PRACTICED TAKING TURNS AND WORKING TOGETHER.

FISH BY THE NUMBERS

Learning how to count things correctly and recognizing numbers by name are important skills to learn and know. Here, we are playing a fishing game that uses a die with the numbers 1 through 6 on it. We altered the game a bit by allowing each child to roll the die, name the number they rolled, and then go fishing. This game also fostered the skills of taking turns, patience and following the rules of the game. Playing a game with your child is a great way to teach them many things at once.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here we are, back to school after Christmas Break. We are excited to be back in the classroom and to see out friends again. There's lots for us to work on and accomplish as the new year begins.

Sorting out the clear gems from all of the other colors is a great fine motor activity. Doing puzzles is a great pre-math skill and the children love working them in groups so they can help one another.

We can never forget our art projects. This is when we can roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty - LITERALLY!
