There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Clover

We are getting in the St. Patrick's Day spirit today by reading There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Clover! This activity reinforced sequencing, story retelling, fine motor control, and following directions.

Later we hit the gym for some fun activities and dancing!

Bessie Coleman

Today we continued our Black History Unit by studying Bessie Coleman. Ms. Coleman was the first African American woman to become a pilot, and the first African American person to earn an International Pilots license. 

In her honor we made aviator goggles and our very own air plane. This activity helped build our fine motor control, color recognition, and following direction skills.

100th Day is Coming

Our 100th Day is slowly approaching! Hopefully we will be celebrating it on Monday- if we can keep the snow out of our way!

In preparation for the big day we have begun talking about the number 100. We took a tour of the school and tried to find ordinary things that looked like the number 100. We did a great job and got a bit creative along the way.

Later we made our hand prints into the number 100, and excitingly enough, all of our friends fingers add up to 100!












100 Fingers!
