Crowns and Caterpillars

This week we read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. First we read the story. Then we got to take turns putting the different foods on a felt apron as we told the story. Finally, we made a caterpillar from circles and glued the circles numbered 1 thru 5 on a paper to take home.

On Thursday we make crowns. Our class is doing really well on their scissor skills. I'm impressed. Our rules are: 1) Scissors are NOT a toy and 2) We ONLY cut paper. So far, so good on everyone following the rules!! We glued a letter C in the middle of the crown and then colored the crown with jewels. We wore our crowns while we read the story "Caps for Sale". It's a classic children's book from 1938. It is a great story about a peddler, some monkeys and some monkey business. Fun!

Bandaids and Blue B's

What is it about a bandaid that makes a kid love them???? Most little ones just love playing with bandaids...so our class got to put 4 bandaids on the letter Bb. We learned about the number 4 this week. Not only is it fun, but the activity really helps develop fine motor skills. (That's our story and we're sticking to it!)

Below, Brielle, Almin and Hannah show off their blue Bb's. I think we have some budding artists!
P.S. Bb is also for batteries....which died in my camera. More pix later.
