I know what you did last month ---- You had FUN FUN FUN!

We have done so much since my last post.  We studied the seasons and made tortillas (read The Tortilla Factory).  We studied about Christopher Columbus and raced boats.  Then we celebrated Halloween.  What a great time we are having.

Paleontologists at Play

Last week we learned about dinosaurs.  The kids had a great time digging up dinosaur bones.  They learned what a paleontologist does, what Pangaea was, and that some animals have become extinct.  See if your child remembers these words and can tell you what they mean. 

I Scream You Scream

I'm glad to report there were only screams of joy this week as we made and devoured homemade friendship ice cream. Last week's theme was friendship and how we can be a good friend. Each child brought a different ingredient to make ice cream and when we put all those different ingredients together it made something wonderful and tasty.  Friends that are different from us can be wonderful too. (but not tasty that would be weird)

The First Week of School

We had such a fun first week of school.  The gingerbread man came to visit and sent us on a scavenger hunt.  We met a lot of new friends and learned to do AB patterns.  

T-shirt Orders

Each year I order t-shirts for the kids (the shirt on the left not the right).  It's super fun and the kids love them.  I even wear them;  it makes life so easy and keeps my wardrobe paint and marker free! The shirts are $8.00 each.  They come in a navy blue shirt with white writing or a white shirt with navy blue writing.  Please email and let me know quantity and shirt color.  Payment for the shirts are made at Meet the Teacher.  These are offered just for fun, they are not required.
