2019 Week 31 letter Uu, time and clocks, Little Red Hen, homemade bread, and springtime animals!

 Last weekend might not have looked like Spring yet...
 But my dog was very happy about the lingering snow!
 The chickens like the longer days... we're getting lots of eggs! 

Monday's new morning challenges included:
"Where's it come from?" puzzles
(Matching farm animals to their products)

 

Bunny and number words match...
(Notice the fun dried peas they are nested in! )



 Last name numeric order...
(This was a tough one!)

 

 Last Friday the kiddos got to 30 points for our ABC game! The reward they chose was a popcorn party and movie!  We're watching Charlotte's Web (the classic cartoon! )  we'll watch a bit of it everyday during snack time until we're done.
 Here's a new learning station...
Clocks!

On Monday afternoon we crafted these adorable hens to go with our Little Red Hen unit!



 Most of the family projects are in,  how lovely!
 If you haven't sent yours in,  there's still time!


Ms. Harden helped the k kids put together these sweet little hens!


 I love love love them!


 On Tueday we made bread!
We read 3 different versions of Little Red Hen first. 
 Then we each helped put in an ingredient into the bread maker.


 The kids were fascinated by the yeast (it really is a pretty cool ingredient when you think of it! )

 Oh, I wish you could smell the aroma drifting out of our room!

 Ms. Harden had a fun lesson for the kiddos about singular and plural nouns!

 Choice time!


 Tuesday's centers included:
Snack table!   Eating the delicious bread we made!



 Unscramble star word chickens...

 Pokey pin Spring words...


One more and one less chickens...

 Middle sound review with chicks and Ms.Harden...

 Action shots of the kiddos joyously eating the bread!












Here's the easy recipe...

On Wednesday the kiddos created these classic Easter Poem animals...
"My little yellow chick is really quite funny,  for when I turn him over...
He's the Easter Bunny!"


This great kid brought us (accidental) upside down unicorn cupcakes for our letter Uu snack! 


Good reads! 

These two fellas solved our newest 100 piece puzzle in just 3 days! 

Wednesday morning our class went to Mrs.Pilger's room to make butter, meanwhile her class came to me to make (more!) bread! 
Here's a few action shots of the kids shake shake shaking the whipping cream into homemade butter! 







Yum!  We ate it on our leftover bread! 

This artist drew one of the cutest Easter Bunny I have ever seen! 

Here's the chart we created with the data from Monday's homework about how many clocks in your home. 
We had fun ordering the data.

Wednesday afternoon we created these cutie patootie chicks! 
We brainstormed ways to describe our feathered friends. 
We then recorded our favorite 3 adjectives! 
















They really are the sweetest things! 

Thursday's new morning challenges included:
Farm Number Bonds...

 Farm Blends Sorting...

 Farm Word ABC Order...

 We learned about rabbits today!  Thinking like scientists as we labeled a rabbit!
 We also got to paint a bunny!
