Let's Go Fly a Kite!

We had some creative students today in our art area!  They decided to design and make kites during Choice Time!  They then decided to take them outside and test them out during afternoon recess.  There was just enough of a breeze to make them fly behind students as they ran around the playground with their kites in their hands!  

These are the kites we made!

Dr. Seuss's Birthday!

We celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday today!  We enjoyed reading several of his books, and we learned that he enjoyed collecting hats.  We designed our own hats today and he would have loved them!  We also made a "green egg" snack using pudding, vanilla wafers, and sprinkles.  We did some Dr. Seuss math using Goldfish crackers after we read the book "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish."  It was a fun day in our classroom!

Check out these hats we made!

Our silly poses!

This was our "green egg" snack!  It's supposed to resemble a fried egg with salt and pepper on it!

Working Hard!

We worked hard today at our learning centers!  Mrs. Bickel says we work like 1st graders!!!

Book Fair

We toured the book fair that is set up in our school library!  There are so many great books for sale!  We had fun looking at the books and we did a great job of being careful with all of the new books that are for sale!

Writing Time/Flossing

Mrs. Bickel took pictures of us during writing time today because we were working so hard!  Many of us can write two or more sentences now during writing time!  

We practiced flossing our teeth today after snack time!  We have learned so much about our teeth and how to take care of them!  We were pretty good flossers today!

Fun Friday!

We had a special visitor come today for Fun Friday!  The Tooth Fairy came and read us a fun story called "Moose's Loose Tooth!"  February is Dental Health Month, and we are learning about teeth!  The Tooth Fairy even gave us all a little "tooth bag" to put under our pillow after we lose a tooth!

Green Eggs and Ham

Mrs. Zapata prepared a very fun lesson for us today!  We learned about the protein food group, and then she made us green eggs and ham!  They were delicious!

We were sad that this was Mrs. Zapata's last day to visit us.  She gave us each a plate to take home so we can practice eating healthy like she taught us during her nutrition lessons.  We learned a lot from her each time she visited our classroom!
