Nifty N

We had a "N"ice week learning about N. We made noodle necklaces, learned about Noah's Ark, practiced writing our names with stamps, blocks, stencils and shaving cream.

Here are our Noah's Ark boats and rainbows


 We made letter N nails and hammers

 We made cat noses, which the students had a blast playing with

Dandy D

Our D week was cut two days short due to weather, so we packed as much as we could into the remaining 3 days. We learned about dinosaurs, dentists, donuts, dogs and much more.

Here are our donuts with frosting and sprinkles! (Frosting made by mixing glue and shaving cream)
I stopped by Krispy Kreme and got some donut boxes and hats for some dramatic play (and also as a surprise snack for Friday)

We did dot-to-dot dinosaurs and put some teeth on the t-rex

 Discovered Dinosaurs

 Made our Letter D Dalmatian dogs

We glued marshmallows to a mouth for teeth 
 I love how these turned out!

Used a tooth brush to brush a yellow tooth white


 And we had a surprise visit from Mrs. Katherine's husband, Dr. Smith the Dentist! 
He taught about dental hygiene and passed out tooth brushes and tooth paste!
Thank you Dr. Smith!


 Books:
Harry the Dirty Dog
Dinosaurs Galore
5 Little Ducks
The Ugly Duckling Dinosaur
Dalmatians
The Case of the Missing Donut

Songs:
Down around the corner
(point to the right)
In the bakery shop
There were 5 little doughnuts
(hold up 5 fingers)
With sugar on top
Along came Katie all alone
She grabbed a big one and ran on home
(clap hands)
(Repeat 4, 3,2,1)

Five Little Ducks

Merry Christmas M

I'm getting around to this post late, but we had a great time learning about M the week before Christmas. We focused on mittens, mice, and mangers. We also had a great time performing our holiday house christmas program
 Here we are making our letter M mouse
