We've learned some big words in the last couple weeks like paleontologist and extinct as we studied all about dinosaurs.  We also had fun doing exercises and learning about healthy foods for our heart.

 Besides learning about healthy foods, we also learned that exercise is important.

 Simon says game.  Perfect for listening skills.

 Mrs. Angela brought in a pomegranate for us to sample.  Most of us liked it. 

 Everybody held up a healthy food for our bodies.

 We need to know where our heart is in our body.

 Mrs. Angela tracing feet for our dinosaur project.

 So do any of these dinosaur teeth or faces scare you????

 We made our own unique saurus by using our footprint and various other shapes.  We even got to name it.

 Dressing up in costume made us feel more like the real thing.

 

 The sensory table had play dinosaurs, eggs, magnifying glasses and all sorts of things for digging.

 We made a pretend volcano and it erupted red lava.  So very fascinating.

                                                                                                                              

 This is serious stuff being paleontologists and digging for letters.

We listened to a story on tape about dinosaurs as we sat on a dinosaur blanket. 

Although it was still hot outside, inside we talked about fall and the changing color of the leaves. Many of us are excited about Fall break approaching and our plans.  Maybe by the time we return to school after fall break, the leaves will be beautiful fall colors????

Gravity was demonstrated by a simple experiment of marbles going down the tubes not up, similar to the falling leaves.   

For good behavior, following directions, and showing good manners we are rewarded with a trip to the treasure box. 

 We needed lots of room in the minds in motion room to do our leaf dancing.

 This was a bean bag game. Throw the bean bag onto a leaf and name the letter or shape where it landed.

 Lots of leaves, acorns, nuts, and pine cones filled the sensory table.

She was using various items to make impressions in the new play dough. 

 Inside each box were numbers 0- 6 to put in order.

 Mrs. Angela brought in stacking leaf boxes to learn sequence. 

 If you could sequence them correctly, you received a smiley face.

 We discussed what the walnut looks like in its shell

 Puppet shows were popular this week both to perform and to be in the audience

 This birthday girl was matching lower case letters to their capitals.

God blessed us with beautiful weather this week for Trike-a-thon which was a wonderful family evening.  Thank you to all who participated.  Our class learned all about fire safety this week and the emergency number 9-1-1.

STOP DROP AND ROLL  practice 

 Two handsome firefighters are ready to slide down the pole. 

 You can't have fire safety week without a fire truck.

 Dialing 9-1-1 to tell what the emergency is and tell their addresses.

 We made a fire scene with puffy paint made out of shaving cream, glue, and orange paint.

 This was our science experiment about fire and air.  We can't wait to see what happens.

 Mrs. Angela lit the candle

 The flame went out in 8 seconds, thus if fire gets no air, it cannot  breathe and stay alive.

 Some highlights from a fun night at Trike-a-thon

 These hot dogs are soooooo yummy.

 The lucky winner of the Ipad!!!!!!!

 One last tattoo for the night.  Thank you Mrs. Traci
