Another wintery day...

We warmed up our fingers & got ready to learn by playing with flubber today! Flubber is cool & fun. We made snowmen with the flubber.

 
 

We really enjoyed singing our circle songs today.
 Everyone sang with such enthusiasm. We sounded great!

 Next Miss Kathy told us about some animals that live in & like cold, snowy weather. These animals live in the Arctic. We found the Arctic on the globe & read a story naming some Arctic animals. We learned how Arctic animals change the color of their fur or feathers so they can hide & protect themselves. They camoflauge.

 

Next we did our writing warm ups to build our muscles.

The morning class practiced making a cross, circle & square. The afternoon class practiced some of our letters. We used a wet-dry-try strategy. First, you trace the shape on your little chalkboard with a small piece of chalk. Then erase the chalk with a small, damp sponge. You can only erase the lines you made by tracing over them with the sponge. Then you trace again with a small, dry cloth. Then everyone writes it once more. It's a great way to have multiple tries at practicing writing & to work on grip by using very small tools.

 

I can make a "K"!

I love to write my name!!

It's great when kids bring in work from home to show me...

We had a nice snack & sang our good bye song!

Happy Trails!
