The day in pictures

The crops we made yesterday are up on the bulletin board. They were excited to see their work.
During reading time, we did some fun/different things. After everyone caught on of the sight words I threw in the air, we got into alphabetical order.
The Spring thaw continues. This picture is taken through the igloo's 'back door'. I predict the igloo to only last another week or two.
Your child's cat in the hat drawing came home today. As a point of reference, here is the poster they were looking at when they drew it. It's really interesting to see the different levels of visual perception. Most children see a face and draw a circle, but 1 or 2 noticed the shape of the face and tried to replicate it. Others have a difficult time separating what they see from what they know (they know a cat has legs, so they draw legs even though the picture has none).
Our buddies came and we had fun with eggs: estimating the circumference of an ostrich egg, measuring area, weighing... Decorating was optional:

Centers:while some children decorated eggs, others played farm
Several children worked together to build a wall.
Happy weekend!
