March 26 - 27

Liam turned 6!  Happy Birthday Liam!

We were working on Measurement... the children each made a paper snake and  then were asked to find something in the classroom the same length as their snake,  they found a friend with a longer snake and a friend with a shorter snake.  Lots of fun and learning together!

This little bunny will be hidden in the classroom every day until Easter.  The children search to find him.  Lots of mapping directions are given for hints!

Working on sorting and counting.  Each child is given a baggie of items.  They count each type of item, record the the number by the picture.

More counting.  Choose a monster number card and a pipe cleaner.  Add that amount of beads on the pipe cleaner.  Before choosing another card have your worked checked.

More counting with monsters.  Choose a card and count that number of eyes to put on the monster.  You also print the number on the monster.  Have your work checked before erasing and working on another number.

Read It, Build It, and Print It!  Using our fish sight words.  Before erasing show your work!

Some learning centre fun.  I brought out my train track.  There is no right way to put it together.  Lots of cooperation and planning together with this new learning centre activity.  The writing table is always a hit along with the computers and dramatic play!

Children working their gross muscles in gym!

More gym pictures!

March 2 - 5

Celebrating 100 Days of School.  Kindergarten, Grade 1 and 2, moved through 10 stations with a 10 frame.  At each station they counted 10 treats to put in their treat bag.  At the end of the day each child should have had 100 treats!

Color cut out and assemble your own Pot of Gold puzzle.

Fill in the missing word.

St. Patrick's Day graphing.  Count the items and graph how many there are of each item.

Look at the first picture in each row and find the rhyming picture.  Color the pictures that rhyme.

Reading  a class favorite.  The Monster At The End of This Book!  The children turn the pages. Lots of  fun and laughter as I use my Grover voice.

The children decorated the St. Patrick's Day display table!

Each day when the children arrive Lenny the Leprechaun is hiding somewhere in the room FOR THEM TO FIND.
