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!
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!?" : )
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!”
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!
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!
Our March is Reading Month bulletin board is themed after the book Last Night I Dreamed a Circus by Maya Gottfried. Each student made a dream cloud to display how their dream would go if they dreamed a circus. I would have to say that if we all put our dreams into action we would have one magnificent circus!
We are crawling with love to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
We thought that saying would be perfect to go along with our heart lady bugs crawling all over our bulletin board. : ) This was the start to our many Valentine's Day projects to come over the next couple of weeks. It was a great kick-off and definately got the kids excited for the holiday!
New Year's is a time to celebrate the beginning of a new year and many people do so by making a resolution to make a change in their life or accomplish something they have been wanting to. We decided to make a wish for the new year instead of making a resolution. The kids wrote their wishes on wishing wells!
Here is our festive bulletin board sending out "warm" wishes to everyone for the holidays. The kids LOVED sprinkling the glitter for their names at the tops of their stockings.
