2024 Week 16 New Years and Winter!

 Happy 2024!

Can you believe how far we've come this school year?

Here's to even more fun and learning in the new year!

  

We wrapped up our 5 Senses unit on Tuesday with some fun guessing games involving hearing and smelling!

 

Our theme for this week was SNOW!

Oh how I love snow!

And yes I am missing it.

Fingers crossed that we get a little this weekend!

A very fun and free building block resource is STYROFOAM!  We've been having a blast creating all sorts of structures!

 

 

Our very first project of 2024 was a countdown to the New Year decoration!

Wednesday's centers included:

Disco Ball Sight Words!

Snow Soup!!!!

  

Adding by Counting On...

Numeral Recognition...

(especially those tricky teens!)

Geobands...designing shapes with rubber bands!

We had an indoor snowball fight!

We read the sight word, crumpled up the snowball,  and threw it! What fun!

 

We are now using our wiring journals to review skills.  At first we'll mostly be practicing literacy skills but we'll add a little Math,  Social Studies,  and Science as the year goes on. 

Last name snow people was our focus on Thursday afternoon:

Snowball fight (modified version) at choice time!

Ms. Kay even sat and enjoyed a round or two!
