Love Is In the Air in the Bridge Class

During the month of February, the Bridge class has talked about what love is. We have made valentines for the people we care about.  We have even learned how to use sign language to sing Jesus loves me.  We get smarter everyday.  Just look at our pictures and you will see.

 A fun way to review sight words.

 We reviewed our addresses by writing it on the valentines we decorated for our parents.  We then added the picture that says it all. Mrs. Angela mailed them and our parents were so surprised to get our valentines in the mail.

 Mending a broken heart.

 We made valentines for the birds to hang outside on our porches.

 Musical hearts.

 Sequencing hearts from largest to smallest.

 Thinking inside the box!!!!!!!

 Conversation hearts made great markers for this Bingo game.

 After I made a pattern, the children had to create their own.

 A game of Hi Ho Cherry O for George's day.

In honor of Abraham Lincoln they built a log cabin out of Lincoln logs.

 Playing with real money made it easy to count coins.

We learned about the Statue of Liberty.   

 Who chopped the cherry tree down?  A game of honesty.

 If I were president I would.....  each child got to finish that phrase.

WINTER WEATHER

The last two weeks we've talked a lot about the season of winter and the weather.  Even though we have not been able to go outside we've done some exciting science experiments and painted with colored ice cubes.  We have so enjoyed meeting several new friends to learn and have fun doing shadow play.

 Meeting our new friend.

 Mitten matching capitals with lower case letters.

 Painting with colored ice cubes.

 Frozen (solid) cranberry ice pops.  Yummy.

 We learned that liquid water takes the shape of the container it is in when it becomes a solid or frozen like this egg one.   

I gave each student an ice cube to see who could melt it the fastest. This idea was to put it in the sun. 

This idea was to stomp on it.  They were very creative in their attempts.  Other ideas were put it in hot water and pour salt on it.

I'd say he's pretty proud of himself for ordering the numbers 1-20. 

 It sure looks like Mrs. Angela is making a hot fudge sundae.

 No, it's a cloud, and now she's adding some blue coloring.

 Here comes the rain.

 These connectors are great for an indiviual or a group.

AWESOME WORK!!!!!!  I do believe it's more than just a new easel.

 Some good use of Trike-a-thon money, a memory game, and how amazing they are at it.

 We held various objects in front of the light to see their shadows.

 Will the groundhog see his shadow?

We were so happy to get back after Christmas break to see all of our friends.  2013 is an exciting time for our school as we move to a new building and continue to keep our minds and bodies growing.  The last two weeks have focused on how special we are, and the next two will concentrate on winter fun!!!!

Dialing our individual phone numbers was a hands on activity.

Santa brought us a new set of Connects.  Thanks, Santa.

I am UNIQUE.  My fingerprints prove it.

Everyone in Bridge class knows their birthday.  Congrats to you.

New play dough.  We never get tire of it.

I'm the cutest little Frosty.  I just need a carrot nose.

We learned about winter animals, the polar bear and the penguin by making crafts.

McDonalds, anyone??????

Some much needed exercise.

 

Old fashioned board games, but we loved them.

We are waddling like penguins carrying beanbags instead of eggs.
