WE LOVE LAP!!!!!!!!!

We have accomplished alot in our math and reading even though we have not had a full week of school since Christmas. We are more confident in our reading and math by using our sight word books and by playing number games. The past two weeks we have delved into love, kindness, and how Valentine's Day got started. Below are some of the highlights we would like to share.

Conversation hearts were used for two activities, graphing, bingo, and oh yes, eating.

Valentine party treats

Students painted a piece of pottery when Earth and Fire came to give us a new experience. Ms Angela's room had 100% attendance with parent and grandparent support and I was most grateful for that.

We discussed love and the definition. It was very hard to describe love and not use the word love. We came up with caring, sharing, hugs, and lots of kisses. I think they got the message.

Here is our mini post office. These boys are hard at work making valentines for their parents.

Our valentine holders took a postal theme this year as we traced the route of a letter from its making to its delivery.

A divided empty candy box can be so much more. How many marbles can he get in with his steady hand? Marbles are great toys and children use them in many imaginary ways.

One indoor activity that got us through those snowy days was our bowling game. Number recognition, matching, and cooperative learning were gained.

Groundhog's Day and shadow play went hand in hand in our room. Each of us got the opportunity to share an object in front of the light.
