I try to give a little time for

puzzles each day!

Whiteboards are a favorite

activity. We do some word/number

work and then the children

get to draw.

Turn and talk. A great way

to teach the children to listen

as someone else is talking.

The children were quite

excited to decorate the

theme table for Easter!

Blaiz celebrated his 6th

birthday.  Happy birthday

Green Eggs and Ham floor puzzle.  

This puzzle was a little difficult

to out together.

Help Thing 1 get to Thing 2

We learned a couple of Dr. Seuss songs!

Thing 1 and 2 have overtaken the

classroom.  The children’s faces are

frame around the outside using an AB pattern.

receives a container with numbers

in it.  Both children draw out a

number and whoever has the
