We had a GGGGreat time learning about G! We made green glitter grapes, met Mr. G, sang songs about ghosts and learned about Giraffes! 

Today we drew faces on cups and then planted grass seeds in the cups! Hopefully in a few weeks we will have hair for our cups! 

 We used paper plates and crepe paper to make ghosts for the hallway bulletin board

We mixed equal parts of liquid starch, liquid glue and a little green pain to make GOOEY GAK! The kids loved mixing the gak, not to mention playing with it!

We also started on some halloween decorations for the classroom by coloring some candy corns

 Thursday was our field trip to the McMahan Fire Station!

B Week Wrap Up

Thursday was our Wonderful Teddy Bear Parade! We had lots of fun with our bears! We went on a bear hunt in the classroom, tossed our bears back and forth, danced with them, took our bears on a parade and played with them! 

Here are some pictures from the bear toss

I had fun walking around watching how the students played with their bears! We had a few bears getting their check ups!

I also caught some of the students conducting their own Show & Tell Session talking about why they love their bears! I wish I had gotten it on video. No one told them to sit down and wait their turn. Its very flattering to watch how they mimicked what I usually do when we are at circle. They took turns sitting in my chair pretending to be the teacher! So Cute!

 After our parade we decorated our Boo Boo bears- complete with bandaids for their boo boos.

I love how they turned out! 

Friday we made our Letter B Bees, which I'll post pictures of tomorrow! 

All in all, it was a fun week!

Meet Mr. B

B Week has been a lot of fun and I can't believe we are half way through! Stay tuned for more pictures from our bear hunt and letter b bees!

Projects:

Monday we painted toilet paper rolls black and made bats for the hallway bulletin board

 The kids drew faces and designs on the wings with chalk!

Today we used our fine motor skills to glue buttons onto Bb! They turned out very colorful  

 We also used balloons to paint circles!
