Both girls worked the Winter Carnival on Saturday....fun!

 Here Maeve is looking all cosmopolitan with her new short 'do!

 And here is Sorcha, also sporting a new cut!

 I was one of the lucky ducks that got to paint faces!

What fun!

Also took the kiddos to The Lorax Movie.
The movie was okay...better than past Dr. Seuss remakes,
but not excellent.

It was a nice time anyway...I love movie theater popcorn and a big ol' Diet Coke!

This week in Kindergarten.....

Reading ~Letter Dd, sound for /d/ and short /i/, star word 'for', quotation marks
Math ~wrap up geometric solids, ways to make 10, begin shapes (rhombus, trapezoid, hexagon)

A quiet week, I think!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss and Read Across America Week

This is one of my favorite weeks!

Here are our Truffela Trees...and Truffela Trees are what EVERY ONE needs!

Look at all those BOOKS!!!!

 Thanks for sending so many Dr. Seuss 

and Theo LeSeig (two of Theodore Giesels's pen names)

We had sooooo much fun sorting and graphing and reading them!

 I LOVE this  one!

 Monday was hairy day!

 Look at those great 'dos!

Eating (candy) green eggs and ham...mmmmmm!

Love that Lorax 'stache!

We began a fun unit on geometric solids....3D shapes!

 Nancy, our secretary, was our guest reader on Tuesday.

She read us The Cat in the Hat

I love these Cat in the Hat paintings!

 Just like the kiddos, no two are alike!

Thursday's learning stations included making

Cat in the Hat hats and ties.

(we only made 2 rotations instead of 3...some kids finished on Friday)

Chris played a dice game with us....

 Mrs. Gatzlaff helped us solve a math puzzle...

My station was painting hands!  

Thing 1 and Thing 2 magically appeared with a little red and blue paint...

On Friday we had Mrs. Pilger's class over for snack time!

FUN!

Friday afternoon we had an all school assembly.

If you look closely you will see the rainbow of shirt colors!

We had three winners when Tina drew names for

Fitness Fever prizes!

Wow, What a week!
