Happy Monday

As soon as Claire saw our Bug Zoo

put together on a shelf she was very interested in checking it out

Tristan was super excited to pick his job first

 so he could be the line leader today

A few new games

A sorting and pattern game

Matching the pictures of insects our class took

Using cloth bands on the peg boards.. get for 

building fine motor skills

Counting the leaves

Ella loves to color every morning!

Matthew is using small sticks to make letters

Great to use things from nature or items from your home and 

find new ways to use them

Morning Meeting...time to start voting for the name of our zoo

After I wrote all the suggest (for our zoo) 

I called each child over to write his/her name in 

the square with the name he/she likes the best

Claire wanting to vote for the name she thought of,

but of course it was at the top of the page

So far there isn't one suggested name that has more than one vote

We'll see what happens tomorrow

The children thought we needed to sell

tickets for our zoo, so I brought a

cash register into our room today

SO I let them see it before we went outside

STORY TIME

I found a cute counting book... that very basically shows through

pictures how to add.... the kids loved it!!

Matthew was our weather helper

Aiden was our prayer leader

(Claire thought she choice prayer leader

so that is why she is standing next to Aiden.

She actually chose Invocation Leader)

Carly was our snack manager today

INDOOR SNACK

It had started raining (plus it is pretty chilly out)

we decided to eat inside, but they love to picnic, even indoors!

Claire fell and bumped her chin on the train plastic bucket

Carly is taking good care of her

Mystery Bag

 A class favorite...

today the pictures were VAN, VASE and VIOLIN

The class telling me what V words they know...... Brody also came up with VOTE

CENTER TIME

Hidden letters in the sand

I made Leaves with Capital Letters and Insect

with lower case letter for the children to dig in the sand

and find the matches

Last week the children wanted to add a brick wall to our zoo

so I brought down the brick blocks

Claire also enjoyed the plastic insects

I was just practicing a picture of one of our bugs.....

A friend told me about a cute app, so wait and see what our bugs can do

I asked the children to think about 

If my bug could talk what would it say......

Carly is helping make the "GRASS" for our zoo

I think the brick blocks were a HIT(maybe became lots of 

other things then the wall for the zoo....which is totally OK)

Exercise Leader

Ella chose for us to do Toe Touches

Claire being our Invocation Leader
