WADDLE YOU THINK OF US?


Each of us was measured to see if we were as tall as an Emperor penguin. Our heights were then recorded on our chart for midyear. We will have one more measurement at the end of the year.

Stamping our sight words helps us to remember them more easily




A new item introduced this week into class was Bend-a-roos. These wax covered colored strings are pliable and perfect for designs, making shapes, letters, and just about anything. A much better way to learn the letter S than just seeing it on paper.




We didn't want to forget about our fine feathered friends so we made them a bird feeder of cereal.

WADDLE-WADDLE-WADDLE
The male penguin has nothing on us. Balancing the beanbags (our pretend eggs) took alot of patience.
Matching the upper and lower case letters on these mittens was challenging, but mastered.
We decorated and cut out our own mittens to retell the story"The Mitten."

Ringing in the New Year


Ringing in 2011 with our door handle bells, we are glad to be back at school Where the Love of Learning Begins!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! And it really did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colored ice cubes- a different medium to paint with. The colors were so vibrant, they looked inviting enough to eat, but we refrained. We're waiting for our real slushies.

Our pajama day gave us individually the opportunity to show and share our favorite stuffed animals.

Shaving cream mixed with glue makes a wonderful fluffy substance.

Besides the fun aspect of shaving cream, it also provided another way for us to practice writing our names, letters, and numbers. The smell was terrific also.

This ice experimenting really made us come up with some very creative ways to get the objects out of the ice, but we love to "predict."

Each person got an ice cube. Oh my it was very very cold. Our mission was to see who could make it "evaporate" the fastest.
Mrs. Angela poured salt on our ice cubes.

After we poured warm salt water on our ice sculpture, we were able to easily dig out what we had buried earlier in the week.
