Leaping Leprechauns

Leprechauns were busy making mischief in our class this week. They left clues all around and we followed them to find their gold - but it was just chocolate coins - those tricky leprechauns. In one class, they even turned our milk green. The kids made cute leprechaun masks, played a game collecting and sorting gold, and painted rainbows.

"D" is for Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs are tons of fun.

We made stegosaurus hats.

We made fossil footprints.

We played dinosaur games.

We made "Shape-o-saurus" pictures

And we had fun playing with lots of different dinosaurs.

Music, music, music

This week we did scarf dancing to classical music. The kids decided to ride their scarves like horses during the "William Tell Overture"

We marched to music

And we made our own musical instruments, including guitars, drums, tambourines, or cymbals.

"P" is for

PAJAMAS - after reading the story "There Were 10 in the Bed" of course we had to act it out.

POPCORN - we popped popcorn in the hot air popper with the lid off. What a surprise it was to see the popcorn fly all over the place.

PARACHUTE - We pretended that some balls were popcorn and popped them all over the place with the parachute.

PANCAKES - Our Tuesday/Thursday class made pancakes for snack.

PILLOW CASE RACE - Our Wednesday/Friday class had time to do pillowcase races.

Doctors and Nurses

What a great time we had learning about our bodies and some of the parts that are "hiding" on the inside. The kids especially enjoyed playing doctor and nurse, and fixing each other's "ailments".

More fun with shapes

We played with lots of shapes this week. We built towers with square boxes, and had fun trying to match the right sized lid with the right sized box.

We played with shape puzzles

We learned how to make triangle pyramids. We had lots of team work as the children taught each other how to make their shapes.

We learned some stories with the number 3 - The 3 Little Pigs, and 3 Billy Goats Gruff.

And of course, as promised, we played with bubbles some more.
