Weather Week

Sorry I've been MIA the past week but I plan on catching up with everything today. 

Here's a peek at last week:

Jobs

At this job the children had to pick a tree, count the stickers, find the number and trace it. 

Candy Cane Patterns- For this job the children practiced copying patterns. 

Catch that Christmas Tree- At this job the children picked a tree with a letter on it and had to find it on their sheet. 

We also made these tissue paper Christmas Trees. 

 We talked about what weather looks like and learned about different seasons. 

The children also made reindeer for our door. 

 Then one the other side of the door I made a reindeer stable. 

Thanksgiving Feast

Here are some pictures from our feast today:

Thank you SOOOO much to everyone who donated food to make our feast so wonderful!

Thanksgiving

Today we started our VERY short unit on Thanksgiving. 

This morning we made some adorable turkey headbands for our feast.

Gooble Gooble

Then we read a Thanksgiving story...

and made the Mayflower. 

Now we are getting ready for our feast....yummmmmm!!!

Fairy Tale Wrap Up

I have to say that I LOVE our fairy tale unit and hope the children did too. 

Here is a wrap up of our fun week:

On Wednesday Mrs. Schmitz came and did a guidance lesson with the children.

Thursday we drew a castle and then colored it. This was a fun craft as the children didn't know what they were drawing at first. They had to listen to my directions as I told them what to draw. 

Then we ate fancy cakes...yummy!!!

Friday was a super busy day. 

We started our day by watching the story The Wizard of Oz. 

We made ruby slippers. 

We graphed our favorite Wizard of Oz character...the lion won!!

Then we watched the story of Little Red Riding Hood. 

We talked about real and make believe and made a list. 

We ended with making Red Riding Hood

Since we didn't have recess because of the weather we had a shaving cream party!

This was the perfect way to end our day!

Jobs

Here's a peek at our jobs for the week. 

Turkey Counting- At this job the children have to id numbers and count that many beans. 

Crown Patterns- For this job the children practice copying patterns. 

Write the Missing Letter- At this job the children have to figure out the missing letter and write in on their sheet. 

Q Quilts

Fairy Tales

This week we are exploring the wonderful world of Fairy Tales. 

We started our unit on learning about the different elements of a fairy tale. 

Then we made a "Q" queen. 

We watched the story of Cinderella. 

Then we talked about what it would be like to have a fairy godmother and a magic wand. 

Today we watched the story Princess and a Pea. 

Then we made our own princess and pea. 

I can't wait to read more fairy tales. 

Nursery Rhyme Wrap Up

Last week we ended our nursery rhyme unit by learning more about rhyming words. 

 We gave examples of rhyming words and then looked at the words cat, dog, pig, and pot. Then the children each received a word and took turns coming up and figuring out what it rhymed with. They all did a great job!

Here is a peek at the jobs the children completed. 

Humpty Dumpty Patterns

Pilgrim Hat Numbers- For this job the children picked a pilgrim hat and practiced writing the number. 

Catch that turkey- At this job the children picked a turkey with a letter on it, found it on their sheet and colored it in.
