Ground Hog's Day

I know this is really late, but I had not had a chance to download my pictures. The kids made a ground hog using cookies, cupcakes, frosting, and m&ms. A teacher friend baked all the cupcakes for us. She is awesome!

Valentines Day!!!!

This will be the first year that I am on-track during Valentine's Day. I have the book The Day It Rained Hearts. Does anyone have any activities to go with the book??

New Look for Valentines!

I thought it was time for a new template...I just love Leelou Blog designs. And the best part is that they are FREE....check them out here Leelou Blogs.

January Fun

Here are some pictures of what we've done this month. My favorite are the Martin Luther King, Jr. TLC. They really turned out CUTE.

I also like this math bulletin board. The kids had to pretend to buy some items from our classroom store.

I hope to post some of the cute projects we did today. We did one on the Three Billy Goats Gruff and another for Social Studies: Then and Now.

Literacy Day #2

We had our 2nd Literacy Day on Monday, January 24th. Kinder and First grade teachers all read Eric Carle books and then made some fun cut and glue activities for the kids. It was an ALL day thing. The kids had so much fun! Here are a few pictures of what went on. At the end of the day, the kids got a free book as part of Reading Is Fundamental.

Chinese New Year

Here is a quick activity we did this year. Just made copies of envelopes on red construction paper. I had the kids tell me what they would do with their lucky money.
