100'th Day of School

Valentine's Day

As usual, due to the snow all our fun activities get mushed together.  We celebrated both Valentine's Day and the 100th day on Thursday.  In all my years, this class was the cutest when opening their cards.  All you could hear was "Thank you" and "You're Welcome".  I recorded a bit of it because it was so cute. I hope you can hear it!

Winter Exercise

With all this cold weather, we don't get outside much these days.  After we do calendar and before we start our work stations, we always have a brain break.   I have found some of the Just Dance songs that the kids are actually able to do while I project it up to the wall.  Here are a few videos of the movers and shaker of our room "exercising"!

February is Here!

Well, I feel like I am always apologizing for not updating more often.  I have a new camera to play with and hopefully can concentrate on getting some pictures up to the blog a bit more often.  We have a lot of fun days coming up like the 100th day of school and Valentine's Day.  We certainly will be busy with all of that!

I am sure that the kids have told you that one of our students has moved to another school.  We had a little good bye party last week and some fun centers to go with it.  Here are some pictures from that day. 

Some of our Bulletin Boards

This is called, "Winter Out My Window". Each student created their own window to the world.

We built snowmen by making one ball for each letter in our last name.

The lights on the tree are our first names.

This was a snow globe Christmas card exchange. We sent out cards to 30 schools and got 30 cards back with some information about their state and school.  We mapped the states  on a smartboard map in the classroom.

This  is our finished Chicka Chicka Boom Boom exchange.  I think we finally got all of the letters from other schools.

Welcome to 2013

I hope everyone had a great vacation.  We came back right into the swing of things.  We have been busy working on ending sound, building and writing short (cvc- consonant-vowel-consonant) words and working on the numbers 1-20.  We have been learning to visualize these numbers in a tens frame to help our mind see the numbers better.  I sent some information about it home, if you have any questions please ask.

Here are some of the words we built.

We are listening to The Three Snow Bears and drawing our favorite part.

We are building snowflakes using pattern block shapes.

We were learning about three dimensional shapes on this computer program.

We are building our words.
