Story Libraries Online

I want to share some links with you where you can go and read books online or have them read to you!  They are also listed in the Educational Websites section. After we get back from Christmas vacation, I will introduce them to the kids and they will be able to visit them at the computer station at work stations time.

Happy Holidays Bulletin Board

These were too cute not to do this year! They thought it was pretty cool to become Rudolph. : ) What better way to share the cuteness then to make it our bulletin board in the hallway wishing everyone a Happy Holidays!

 



Gobble...Gobble...Gobble...

We made these turkeys today to hang from our ceiling to start decorating our room for the Thanksgiving holiday. The kids love them and had fun making them! I always know when they really like something we have made because they ask with excitement, "Do we get to take this home today!?" : )

 

 

Happy Fall Y'all!

Here is our fall bulletin board! We made scarecrows to go along with our poem of the week "I'm a Little Scarecrow." It can be sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot."

I’m a little scarecrow

Stuffed with hay.

When I see a crow

I like to shout:
“Hey, Mr. Crow, you’d better get out!”

Bulletin Boards from Years Past

I accidently deleted a bunch of bulletin boards I had previosuly uploaded to share. Here they are below!

The turkey's body is made from hand- and footprints!

Mat Man

I introduced the children to Mat Man today and they absolutely loved him! Our Handwriting Without Tears program uses him to introduce the children to the wood pieces they will be using as a manipulative to build letters (there are long and short sticks and small and big curved sticks). Check out the Handwriting Without Tears website for an online interactive game where the kids can put Mat Man together! The link is  http://www.hwtears.com/hwt/learning-lounge/mat-man-world/build-mat-man/online-game. You can also access the game from our blog homepage under Educational Games. Enjoy!

Spring Bulletin Board

We've Gone Buggy About Spring!

Check out our new spring bulletin board. Each student made their own bug jar. They really enjoyed making the bugs because the bodies are their fingerprints!
