Rainbows

Today we welcomed one of our classmates back from his trip. We really wanted to include him in our Cat in the Hat poster! Check it out! (original Cat in the Hat blogpost)


St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner! Today we made rainbows to attract the sneaky leprechauns. Our rainbows helped us work on number recognition, number sequencing (both froward and backward), comparison vocabulary, fine motor control, following directions, color recognition, etc..

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the blog (under resource pages) to see the inspiration behind this project and how you can also make your own rainbow!














Educators:
For other grade levels you could turn this into a measuring activity. Students could measure starting with 12 inches and going down an inch at a time for each color.

Snow Globes....(in March....)


We have been waiting all winter to do this project! It's March, we know, but we finally have a little snow on the ground. We made ourselves into snow globes and worked on adjectives while doing so. We used descriptive language to define snow! Some of us even hand wrote our own, the others dictated to our teachers.

First you will find our poses for the snow globes below. Look at ALL that SNOW(....)





Describing snow!

The Leprechaun Strikes Again!

The tricky leprechaun paid our classroom a visit while we were in computer class! It left behind shamrocks and balloons! 

More evidence to add to our board!

Happy 150th post! Thank you to all of you who come and visit our little blog each week. We are close to 11,000 hits (which is pretty huge for our tiny little preschool class!). If you would like to be better informed of new posts, sign up for email alerts (to the right of the screen). 

Today we had a little fun and got even more silly! We pretended to be the Cat in the Hat! We had a blast posing for photos while we talked all about the story. Check us out!
