Junior Achievement

Well we just ended our 3 weeks of Junior Achievement. A huge thank you to Sara Dufner, who was our volunteer from the community. She came in 5 different days and did lessons with the kids about Social Studies topics! They had a blast!

Leprechaun Shenanigans!

Well St. Patrick's day has come and gone, but we had a little bit of mischief going on in our classroom last week as St. Patrick's day grew nearer. First, when we were out for lunch, we had all of our nametags got switched around! What a commotion to try to put them back with their right owners!! Then, while we were at recess, all of our pencils got tipped over!! This time there was a trail left in the form of green glitter!! We definitely think there was a leprechaun sneaking around in our room!

We made leprechaun wanted posters to hang in the hallway!! This way others could help us find those sneaky leprechauns!

We also talked about how lucky we are in our lives for all the good things we have. We chose our favorites to put on our rainbow hats!

Guinea Pigs

One of our little friends celebrated their birthday on Friday, and for her show-and-share, her mom brought in something extra special, Guinea Pigs!! She wanted to bring them in during letter "G" week, but we just couldn't make it work with our schedules, so this proved to be a perfect time! She keeps them in her preschool classroom, so they were very used to a lot of kids hovering around! The kids thought it was awesome and all got to come up and take a close look, even though we didn't get to touch them! :)

Dr. Seuss

The great Dr. Seuss' birthday was on March 2nd! We celebrated the whole week before by reading many of his books and doing lots of great reading and math activities! It was a super fun week!!

"Cat in the Hat"

"One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish"

"Green Eggs and Ham"

We measured with feet after reading "The Foot Book."

We also used our 5 senses to explore some Seuss Juice! We then got to enjoy a Seussy snack along with it!

Dental Health

February is Dental Health Month, so this week we spent a little bit of time talking about our teeth and how important it is to take care of them! We did a little experiment using eggs as our "teeth," and we soaked them 4 different liquids for 3 days. We used coke, grape juice, water, and milk. We were looking to see which liquids are good for our teeth, and which ones are not so good. We also talked about how to clean our teeth when we do drink things that aren't so good.

The eggs in coke and grape juice were very stained!

We got some toothpaste and brushed to get them clean!

Goodbye Miss Vetter

Well I took on my first student teacher this spring, and luckily I can say it was a great experience!! The kids loved having her here as well and are definitely going to miss her! Good luck with everything!

Valentine's Day

Well we made it through the last party of the year! As always, the kids had a blast and claimed, "it was the best party ever!" We played some games and had yummy snacks! We got to "deliver" all our valentines earlier in the day, as to not take up our party time! Thanks to all my kiddos for the goodies I got!
