Incredible I

We had a great time learning about I. We measured our height in inches, made insects, measured if ice weighed more than water, and learned about pilgrims and indians



 Indian handprints

 Popsicle stick turkeys

 Paper igloos

 We made our letter I Islands

 We used pipe cleaners and beads to build indian corn cobs

We also spent time playing in an ice cream shop! So much fun

Crazy C!


 We had a great time learning about C! We learned about corn, painted with corn cobs, shucked some corn on the cob, learned about cup cakes and had a bake shop! Here are some highlights from the week!

We painted with corn on the cob!

 Mixing Shaving cream and glue we made icing for cupcakes! The kids loved spreading it around on the paper and we had to top it off with sprinkles.

 We colored colorful cats and used Q-tips to dob corn onto our corn cobs

Practically Perfect P!

We had a wonderful week learning about P! We learned about pumpkins, penguins, pigs, had parties and a parade! So much fun squeezed into one week!

Here are our letter P Pigs! 

In the morning we made Popsicle stick puzzles and patchwork pumpkins with tissue paper



 Thursday was HALLOWEEN which was a lot of fun! We went trick or treating, made masks with parents, and had special Halloween snacks. 

 If you look close at my Happy Halloween sign you will see some drew little smiley faces in the letters, which I think is wonderful! They also wrote their own version of Happy Halloween!

 All the wonderful costumes!
