Farm items wanted please!

We would love any old "farmer" style clothes to go with our "Down on the Farm" theme in our dramatic play center. This could include straw hats, flannel shirts, and overalls. Our next theme will begin the Friday after spring break, 4/17, and will be "Spring is Here." If you have any clothing or items to represent this theme (umbrellas, spring jackets, shovel and pail, gardening tools, etc.) we would love it!

Lucky Leprechauns

Last week a leprechaun played many pranks on our kindergarten classroom. We made traps in hopes of catching him, but somehow he escaped with everything except his hat! He did leave us a nice note, a gold treasure (Rollos candy), and bubbles to play with outside. However, before leaving us presents, he moved all clips to red, turned all our alphafriends and station cards upside down, and flipped our chairs. What a prankster ~ maybe we'll catch him next year!

It's Been Awhile!

I'm sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. We've been fighting strep in my family for 6 weeks now, and it's been a little crazy. Please forgive me and I hope to get back on track with blogging:)

Monday, March 2nd is Dr. Seuss's birthday. We will honor and celebrate this day by reading Green Eggs and Ham. We will then follow directions on how to make Green Eggs and Ham and taste our creation. The students will then graph whether or not they liked Green Eggs and Ham. I do like Green Eggs and Ham, I do like them Sam I Am!!

Snow Days

I hope everyone enjoyed their unexpected snow day. It was perfect snow for making snow angels and snow huts (can you guess how I spent the day?)

Meet Zelda Zebra

This week our new alphafriend is Zelda Zebra!

(lyrics sung to Lil Liza Jane)

Zelda Zebra likes to zoom.

She zooms with zest.

Zelda Zebra zig zags too.

She does her best.

Zelda Zebra makes one big Z.

Zelda Zebra zips right past me!

Happy Valentine's Day

The students did many fun Valentine's activities today. The kids began their day decorating Valentine's bags. Then, they sorted conversation hearts by color and graphed them to compare which color had the most and least. They also wrote love letters and created Valentine cards. During centers, they each delivered their Valentines. We had a full and exciting day. Happy Valentine's day to you all and thanks for sharing your wonderful children with us! We love them!
