Kk is for Kites

Cute little pretty princesses :)

 Play dough time....

Kk is for kites!! And such a blessing this week to see the sun...and it was kinda warm even! It was nice to be able to go out and fly our kites :)!!

 Happy kids!!!

  Sorting during free time....

Week 13: Kk is for Kisses

I thought about putting lipstick on the kids and having them kiss the paper but I figured the boys would not be fans for that :)!! So we opted for kiss stamps...they worked out fabulous. 

I guess by now you have all gotten your Christmas ornament so this isn't spoiling the fun. Here they are drawing their self portrait.  I think they all did such a cute job, I loved them all!!

 The kids during center time!! They had so much fun with these magnets!! Look at all those creations.  It was hard for me to get them to clean them up!

 Birthday girls!! The 18th I guess is a popular day for a birthday around here :)

 Our other Christmas project...cookie cutter stamps! So fun :)!

 We started working on some different math games this week also.  Matching numbers with item and items to numbers.  They did great at both!!

This brings me sadness to see these girls say good-bye.  They were quite the 3-Musketeers!  Good-bye you little cutie, we all hope you make great new friends and have a safe move!! Come say hi if you are ever back in town!!

Week 13 updates: Kk is for Kindness

We talked all week about kindness, about being a good friend and being kind to all.  We read Blueberries for Sal and made Blueberry muffins.  The kids love to bake I've discovered!

On Thursday after the fun of school stuff, we had a little Christmas party.  We got to eat popcorn and watch Charlie Brown Christmas, very fun.  Look at all those kidos suggled under the blanket.  If you noticed a new face in there, it's not a new student, it's an old one.  She was in town for the holidays and asked if she could come say hi for a few minutes.  It was fun to have her:)!!

For the past few weeks we have been working on fine tuning our handwriting.  We have been doing worksheets, I'm sure you have seen them come home, they help with those writing skills.  I noticed good changes in the last couple weeks.  My goal for 2013, is to have them write their own names on their papers.  It's so quick and easy for me to do it for them...but that's not how they are going to learn! I know I will still have to help a little but I hope they will be able to get those names down in no time.  I had them write their names a few times on their journals before we did those worksheets and then started the worksheets.  We have now finished the worksheet packets and have gone back to writing our names and I have noticed a big change :)!! Happy day!!
