Happy Monday!

 Look at the great alphabetizing the class did last week!  And they can read most of the words too!

 

 Math centers this morning: finding lots of ways to build triangles and hexagons.

 Measuring transportation with links and cubes.

Building with house blocks.

 More transportation fun at the end of a social studies lesson

Hopscotch!  Don't worry, I preface this with a "Don't do this at home" and "only the teacher can write on the carpet."

Humpty Dumpty writing: How would YOU put him back together again?

by hand (see all the yolk and shell pieces?)

 I would use glue.  (Look at that great spelling!)

 

Tape him up so he can walk again.  (More great writing and great spaces!)

I didn't put him back together.  I put him in the hospital.

Hula hoops and working together

 Above (if they work) are video clips of the class playing the hula hoop 'game', also known as learning to work together.  We talked about how to help others and encourage them.

 

Our math and literacy centers are pretty easy right now, allowing us to practice the routines of how to take them out, work together, clean them up, and return them.  Above you can see a car puzzle track - it is great for problem solving!  Below children are feeding a dog bones with tweezers, which strengthens hand muscles, helping with writing.

At the end of the day Thursday we opened up the games and puzzles for free choice centers.  Everyone was playing so nicely together.  Yay!
