Christmas!!!

I am so sad to report that my camera battery died during the Christmas party :-( 

If you have ANY pictures, please email them to me.

Here is a math art project for counting by 2's and 5's

Here are the CRACKERS we decorated- forget all that sugar they are already going to get!

ABC art

I hope you are collecting your letter art and keeping them in some sort of a book at home. 

We only have a few letters left. There is so much personality in each one...

Computer TIME!

Once a week the students play educational games on the laptop lab

Our favorite website: starfall.com

Ww wonderful tasting letter

Who could forget the letter W after we ate waffles and whip cream?

Letter U - We LOVE YOU!

Try and guess these fun things we did for letter U...

 That was Miss G helping the kids walk UPside down on the letter U

 Here's a relay we did: unzip, untie, unbuckle, under the table

Next time we are going to make these AWESOME umbrellas:

HALLOWEEN!

The craziest holiday around finally came! 

I hope you enjoyed our healthy treats in class and had a fun evening  trick or treating :-)

EeEexercise day!

Today the students got to take turns selecting an envelope.

 If it had a picture that began with the /e/ sound, they got to exercise!

 Here's the text we worked with. It is from SEEL AKA one of my favorite websites!

 Also, for the entire day the kids called me Mrs. Exercise and everyone got a new name that started with E. That was a big hit!

Letter O

OHHH the letter O is such a tough one.... it's a vowel and not many words actually start with the short /o/ sound. But here's what we came up with:  we watched videos on otter, ostriches, and octopuses. Then we ate olives

 They actually look kinda scary so I don't blame the 4 students who chose not to eat them

 28 students divided by 8 legs per octopus... = NOT  a whole number

We talked about otters, octopus and ostriches. 

It took some serious patience to make these....

If we had more time we would have played the "on off" game and opposite games

RRRRRelay!

The raccoons raced against the rabbits in this relay:

reach 3 times

 read 3 words

 run and ring the bell

 Here are some rowdy raccoons:

Hh Hat day!

HHHere are some things we did on HHHHat day:

 We hung up our hats

 We put our hats on our hair

 I hit my hat with a hammer

 We hopped with our hats

Other things you can do with your hat: hide your hat, hug your hat. What else can you think of? 

We also made these houses in honor of Hh activities.
