AWESOME ART!!!

Simple art project that we did using some paint & hair combs! They used the little black combs to make swirls, lines and other designs!! We used some fun colorful party paper to stick on for a unique look for our MASTER PIECES!!!

"SORTING" AT SNACK TIME!!

How about mixing snack time with math time?! This was so much fun for my students. First they were thrilled to have "breakfast" for snack time & I was thrilled to mix it with math & they just thought it was a fun game! Who says learning can't be fun?!!!

I found the "Fruity Cheerios Sorting" template at www.theprincessandthetot.blogspot.com and I printed & lamented enough for all my students.
Bought some off brand Fruit Loops & served them with a glass of milk & a banana for some added nutrition!
As they nibbled on their snack they sorted, counted & even made some cute happy faces.
SO MUCH FUN!!!

LET'S GO FISHIN' FOR SNACK TIME!!!

Okay, I usually keep my snacks simple, but by popular demand we went "Fishin" during snack time!! This is by far the most popular snack we serve!

All you need is some pretzel sticks: AKA: FISHING POLES
Peanut Butter: AKA: THE BATE (Make sure there are no peanut allergies)
GOLD FISH

Bate the pole & go fishin'!!!!

Simple Circle Puzzle Project

Our shape of the month is a circle & for one of our projects we made Circle Puzzles. This is such an easy project and the kids loved it. We started with a large circle on the bottom and added other circles on top by gluing them all over the big circle making sure we overlapped them. We finished it off by adding circle stickers all over the top. Various sizes & colors can be used and the students can even cut out their own circles too. After they were done gluing and sticking all the circles on, I folded the circle in half & than in half again so they had a guideline to cut the circle into fourths. They were thrilled when they were able to put their puzzle back together!

This idea came from: http://www.funshineexpress.com//

ACTIVITY BAGS

Our first ACTIVITY BAGS went home yesterday with my students & I am so excited about the possibilities the little bags hold!


I found the bright colorful bags at the Dollar Store and they were two for $1.00. I printed & lamented our first assignments & tied the tags onto the bags with some ribbon. This way the tags can be removed & saved for next year & replaced with new tag assignments for multiple subjects.

The first tag instructions: Please help me find 5 items to put in my activity bag to share with my class. These items need to be something that can be left at school such as: Acorns, buttons, milk caps etc… We will be sharing, sorting, comparing & counting all our items. Remember only 5 items of the same thing.

I am very excited to see all the different items the children will be surprising me with!
