We even used our big blocks. We are getting better at making Really Tall tower!

We played with Animals.
We practice writing A LOT.
Played with Peg boards working on those pincer skills....

P.S. Did you notice there were some rather large kids in some of the pictures?????
They are our buddies from Mt. Logan Middle School. They come in once a week for an hour and play with us. It is a really fun program we love having big kids to read and play with us!

Sept 13-17


This week we are starting our letters of the week. We will start with A&B this week and follow each week with two more letters finishing up just before Christmas. A few weeks will be review weeks.

So this week A&B We will learn about what the letter looks like on Monday and what kind of things start with it and the sound it makes. Tuesday we will review A, Wednesday we will review B. Thursday is our Magic Tree House adventure and Friday our food project. This Friday is popcorn and Lemonade.

Remember to take time this week to find things around your house that start with A and B. Choose one to bring to school on Friday to share with our class at circle time.

Also we are in need of Kleenex. Please could each child bring a box to share with the class!!

Let's have a Great Week!!
Love,
Teacher Trina

Pictures!!


I know I promised pictures last weekend but I left the camera at school.... so you get a double dose today!

Last Friday we read the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and did a few projects to go with it. The tastiest being our Fruit Chicka Boom Boom trees. Graham crackers, green apples, grapes and Alphabits cereal to climb the trunk.
We stamped our own trees to take home!
We also decorated the first letter of our names to go on the class tree.

and did magnets on our metal trees

"Look teacher my tree is tipping over"





On to this last week...

Here we are reading our very first Weekly reader. These are awesome mini magazines we get from Scholastic. The pictures and topics are so amazing and easy to follow!
Here we are reading Magic Treehouse books in our very own Magic Tree house. These adventures are quickly becoming a favorite!
These are our fun new blocks Teacher Diana is making us out of duct tape and Capri Sun boxes. If you have boxes don't forget to bring them in!


We worked on patterns on Tuesday.
and finished up our letters-such concentration! I can't believe he covered the entire thing in tiny dots!
This is the back of the weekly reader- coloring our own patterns!
Skip right to Friday and our Teddy Bear Picnic! Thank you to everyone who remembered to bring their bears for Sharing Circle Time on Friday!
Here we are cutting out and making our own bear faces!
Here is our Pillow Bear Snack. We had to count out 10 cookie crisp cereal, 5 cinnamon Teddy Grahams, 5 honey bears, 5 chocolate bears, and 10 marshmallows. What good counting practice it was. And it was also fun to eat for our picnic with our bears. Look at how patiently they waited in line!! Way to go kiddos: )




Here we are sorting our bear stick puppets by color.
and doing another weekly reader...
and reading to our bears in the Tree House.
What A FUN Week!

Love,
Teacher Trina
