black

today we learned about the color black. we made elephants and got to PAINT! oh they were so excited! and they were so good with the paint.

hope you all have a good weekend!

where did the week go?

sorry i haven't been updating every day! i have no idea what happened to the week! we learned about the color blue and the shape of a diamond on thursday by making kites. on monday we learned about the color purple and the shape was a star, we made shooting stars. today we learned about the color pink. and we didn't have a shape to go with it. we made turkey hats instead! they were so funny running around being turkeys and gobbling. it was cute! they were all so specific about the color of feathers they wanted.

we will be having a thanksgiving feast next monday for thanksgiving. i am asking that each student bring one of their favorite foods to share with the class. it doesn't have to be thanksgiving related. just something that they love. it is so fun to see what they decide to bring! in the years past we have had crasins, breadsticks, corn nuts, mashed potatoes, and even beef jerky. lots of fun! if you have any questions please let me know!

i will be sending home a reminder tomorrow so you have all weekend to figure it out. :) as well as the december calendar.

yellow and green

Monday we learned about the color yellow. and the letter x. we made yellow sunshine's, arranging them from smallest to biggest. we worked circles as out shape. they did really good putting them in size order!

Wednesday we learned about green and all the things that are green. we made a forest of trees. the trees were various triangle shapes. they like seeing what the colored shapes will become.

we have been coloring a fish every day with the color of the day and adding it to our fishing boats. we say the rhyme "fishy, fishy in the sea. jump into my boat with me. fishy, fishy in the sea. what color will you be?" then we say a color and put it in the boat. and then repeat until we have all the colors in. they really really like it!

we also started star students this week. it's been a lot of fun! they really like learning something about their friend each day.

tomorrow is blue day. :)

red and orange

Wednesday we learned about the color red, and the letter w. we made red wagons out of rectangles big and little. they got to cut, scrunch, tear and glue the red paper on their wagons. we also enjoyed show and tell.

then when we learned about orange we made creatures out of pipe cleaners and toilet paper rolls. some kids made bugs, others made monsters, some made people. it was cute to see them get creative. today (Thursday) we also had so much energy that we had PE. it was so cute to see them doing fun (easy) activities! they crack me up!

they all look so cute dressed up in the color of the day! thanks for participating. i just love your kids!

colors and our party

Thursday we learned about our colors. we made some fun little Halloween books with all the colors. they did such a great job! then we got out our rice buckets, and got to dig for treasures. they enjoyed that!

we had lots of fun at our Halloween party too! played Halloween bingo, and pin the eye on the monster. we made ghosts, and acorn people. we sang silly Halloween songs, trick or treated to each other, and ate spider snacks. it was really fun. they looked so cute in their costumes!

just a reminder that we do not have school on Monday Oct 31. I will see you all on Wednesday November 2nd. have a happy Halloween!!

MONSTERS!?

Monsters?! the only monsters in our class are funny colored ones! we learned about our colors today with the help of fun monsters. we made a monster color book. they did great at listening to directions on what to color each one. they are all really good at their colors! then we learned a song about funny colored monsters! we also learned about the number one. they found the number hidden around the room. And we enjoyed show and tell again this week. they shared their toys great at stations!
