Getting Ready

Our room has been getting prepared for the Smart Boards that are being installed during fall break. I'm SOOOO excited and can't wait to have such a wonderful tool in the classroom. I know the children are going to have a ball with it. Here is where one half of our chalkboard use to be...

5 Senses

Today we learned about our 5 senses. The children all brainstormed how we use each of our senses.  We labeled the senses on a poster and then made our own 5 senses person.

 

 

Door 2

On the back of the door the children made some adorable jack-o-laterns that we put on vines under a tree.

Here is a picture.

Door

Ms. Emily, the children, and I have been working hard the past couple days to get our door ready for fall.

Ms. Emily and I made a scarecrow. Then the children watercolored crows and made corn.

Here is one side of our door. It came out too cute.

X-Ray

Today we learned more about our bones by singing the skeleton dance song. We all had a blast.

Then the children helped me put together a skeleton puzzle.

 

Once we were done the children each took a turn finding a bone. Then they were the teacher and called a friend to come up and find a bone.

 

After we discussed that when we break bone we have to get a picture taken called an X-ray. Finally the children made an x-ray by gluing q-tips.

 



X Week Jobs

Here are some pictures of our jobs for the week.

Number Dots- The children have to draw the correct among of dots next to the number.

Shape Bones- the children pick a bone, color it on their sheet, and draw the shapes.

Matching upper and lower case letters.

5 Senses

This week we are talking about our body and our 5 senses.

Today we read Head To Toe and reenacted the book. Then we talked about our bodies and watched the skelton dance on You Tube. We all had fun dancing to it.

One of the children's jobs this week is to make a Mr. Potato head and tell me what they use to see, hear, taste, touch and smell. I think they came out sooooo cute. I can't wait for all the children to finish them. For the other jobs the children are drawing shapes, matching upper and lower case letters and one to one correspondence( I will take pictures tomorrow).

Ms. Wishy Washy

On Friday we watched Ms. Wishy Washy on the computer, I wish we had our smart board. Then the children made her. They come out adorable.

Snap the Goat

Today my wonderful husband brought our goat, Snap, to school today. The children had the change to pet and feed her a carrot. They LOVED it and so did Snap. Here are some adorable pictures of our day.



Changing the room

Ms. Emily and I have been moving things around in the classroom. We are getting one side of our board removed to get ready for our smart board. Hopefully it will be removed tonight! I will post pictures when it is removed.

Chickens

Today we learned about chicken. Here is our fact chicken:

 Then each child made their own chicken fact book.

Today we made biscuits and butter during snack. The children loved making the biscuits. We talked about the directions, ingredient, and measuring water.

Then we made butter. They LOVED shaking the carton of whipping cream.

Then the children had a chance to make their own cow fact book.
