Making Patterns with Conversation Hearts

We put a little spin on working on patterns today. We used conversation  hearts to create assigned patterns, and then go creative and made our own patterns and shared them with the group. After we completed our patterns of hearts we drew our own! We worked on AB, AABB, following directions, color identification, sight words, prepositions (next, after, before), and counting during this fun activity!

We Found Our Shadows - Groundhog Day

We pretended to be Groundhogs today! We have been waiting for that sun to shine long enough for us to pretend to be groundhogs for a whole week! We had so much fun with our own shadows; Happy Groundhog Day!

Groundhog Faces :)

OT Fun

We have so much fun in the minigym! We go in groups of three with our peers and climb, jump, balance, write, draw, and have a blast! Here is a peek into our day today.

Groundhog Day is Coming!

With February fast approaching we thought it would be a great time to spend this week learning all about Groundhog's Day. Today we read "It's Groundhog Day", a story about an eager groundhog who is preparing for his long winter nap. We learned what the legend suggests if a groundhog were to see his shadow on February 2nd. We even took a vote on who wanted 6 more weeks of winter and who was hoping spring would come early. The class was pretty divided as we are still waiting on some much needed snow days before we give up on winter ;).

After we read "It's Groundhog Day" we made our own groundhogs and attached his shadow. Check back later in the week to see what else we have planned for Groundhog Day!

Two of our other favorite groundhog books are;
