Construction Week

We had so much fun during construction week!  Look at what we built!  Students made tools belts, painted new benches for our classroom and built new things during choice time. 



Mr. Risner built benches for the kids to paint. 




Mr. Risner even helped us paint.



Building letters

Using the tools!

Our tool belts



Our sand/water table became a construction site.





We also designed a house. 

 

Animals

We learned many things about animals.  We compared the outercoverings of animals, how they move, matched babies with mothers and talked about why animals live in some areas of the world and not others.  We also learned about migrating, hibernating and animal adaptations.


Students worked on murals to show how animals get ready for the winter.

During B week, we created butterflies (that migrate), bears

(who hibernate) and bunnies (that adapt.)

We created art from torn paper.  The kids worked really hard and the final product was adorable.

 

 

The Holidays

I am sorry that I have not posted anything new in a while  Here are a few posts to catch you up.  We made super cute holiday gifts.  We also read many Gingerbread Man stories and made gingerbread houses.

We listened to a holiday book by Jan Brett.

 We had fun at our holiday party.  I ordered

ornaments from Oriental Trading for the

kids to make.  We also played BINGO and

ate yummy nacho plates.  I am sorry for the

delayed post.  I had to borrow some pictures
