Weather or not

Last week, we talked about the weather. Good time for this unit since at this time of year in Utah, we have snow one day and park weather the next. The painted pictures that the students brought home on Monday were their weather pictures. They turned out so great but the best part is their descriptions. I wish I had time to write them all down on the back for them. If you get a chance, have them describe it and see if you can see what they see. Someone's child was a picture of someone getting struck by lightning! Was this yours?

What Moves You?

If your child happens to share what we did today, they aren't fibbing when they say I made them draw with their eyes closed. We were discussing music today and one of our activities included listening to music with their eyes closed. Then they had a marker and paper and could draw how they "felt" listening (while they listened). This was interesting! When you see the picture, try asking about their feelings. We also sang some silly action songs and will continue this all week. Ask them if they have a wiggle in their toe!

We exchanged Valentine's! The boxes that we decorated turned out so cute and they were really excited to hand out the cards and candy that they worked on so hard at home. Really fun day today.




We decorated cupcakes. The instructions were to eat one (if they wanted) and save one to take home...they could even share it with someone they love. They look yummy!

What's love got to do with it?

This week our theme has been "Love" to go along with Valentine's Day. We were discussing what/who we love. Pets, people, and toys were all mentioned. One student said that she loved her "imaginary sister named Elizabeth." Was this your child?

Candy Factory

The candy factory was so much fun! We were a big group, so we divided into two, but I snapped a few pictures before we all went in. The kids acted really well (and kept their hairnets on!) and they were all "sweetly" rewarded in the end.

Lucky You!

This is from a student's parent's blog and I made a comment, so I have to copy it! This could be fun! This is great "reward" for those checking in on us!

Lucky you! The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!

2- What I create will be just for you.

3- It'll be done this year. (might be a little while)

4- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may involve glue and glitter... I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!

5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.

The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!

Reminder

Just a reminder: We have our field trip to the Candy Factory on Thursday. Please inform me if you aren't going to be there for any reason. We will see you there!
