2022 Week 25 Transportation

 Hey, I know these characters!

We held a Spring Craftapooloza on Monday after school.

We created and laughed and just enjoyed each others' company!

Our theme this week was a super fun unit on transportation!

Every year I bust out my own children's skatepark for the k kids to play with.  Wow! That's one Christmas gift that keeps on giving as the little boy I bought it for is 34 now with 2 kids of his own!

 

Ms.S had the kiddos create these mischievous little leprechauns!  

Ms. S also had small groups of students do this fun graphing activity. We got to talk about data that we didn't need as there were purple cars that we did not graph.

Here is one of our mixed up sentences from this week:

During Morning Meeting we put this train together through 50 cars. Then at choice time these smarties finished it all the way to 100! Wowza!

Wednesday's snack was 

JJJJJJelly Beans brought by JJJJJillion!

Choice time is a time for creating!

Short i words with Skittle for the dots on the i!

   

The car wash brain break...

What a fun number of days in K:

We began our transportation unit with a fun little sorting activity...

Puzzle Time!
