Hope your Thanksgiving was lovely!
Here are a few pics of our nicely balanced long weekend:
4 of my 6 kiddos were home!
We ate and played games and relaxed!
and sadly, had to say goodbye to 2 of them for a month or so!
What a fun, fast week!
Monday we began new morning challenges:
Food Groups...
Food Name Puzzles...
Family Numeric Order...
Oh, we had ANOTHER 100 Club Celebration!
Congrats!
Before Thanksgiving break the kiddos won the ABC game to 20 points.
They chose a popcorn and movie party!
So at snack time we watched
PBS's Between the Lions
and Tomie DePoala's Stega Nona!
Monday afternoon we created these free form polar bears (with just a bit of guidance as to where to begin the circles...)
THEY ARE SO ADORABLE!
We also made these cutie patooties with Mrs.Sauers...
Tuesday was PENGUIN day!
We labeled a penguin...
We unscrambled a penguin sentence...
We looked at the difference between
non-fictional and fictional penguins...
We generated a list of penguin facts!
And our centers were
PENGUIN themed!
Here we are measuring penguins using ice blocks...
We had a read the room center finding color word penguins...
This one is missing numeral penguins...
and finally PENGUIN EGGS
beginning sounds!
As you already know, we need TONS of milk jugs for our igloo...thanks for washing, cutting, and sending them in!
(page down for our igloo as it is growing!)
it starts out small...
We have many new things out in our
WINTER WONDERLAND room!
The Gingerbread Village is a hit...
My favorite the GINGERBREAD BAKE SHOP is open!
Puzzles are always a hit!
Ms. Michelle, our school nurse, presented a lovely lesson on handwashing on Wednesday!
Ms. Michelle gave us "germs" which we tried to wash off with soap and water.
We learned the proper way to wash hands...
This machine showed us the "germs" we missed!
Yep, 20 seconds with soap before going into the rinse phase is the trick to killing germs!
Wednesday afternoon we created these educational snowpeople with our LAST NAMES!
More "new" toys...Word World Animals!
The Discovery table is a WINTER WONDERLAND!
More Gingerbread Village play...
More Bakery Imagination!
See how big the igloo is growing!

We were scientists making SNOW!
Here we are ready for the experiment to begin...
Finally we got to mix the water with the special polymer that changed into
fluffy white cool SNOW!
(fake snow, but cool none-the-less!)
Awesome!
3 More Family Projects!
Thursday's Centers included:

Miss Anna's last day and her last station was
