Oh fish sticks!

We have been learning about animals this month and spent a week on ocean animals.  We have also been reviewing numbers 0-10 before moving on to larger teen numbers here in pre-k land.  I pulled out my Oh Fish Sticks game for a quick counting and number identification review of these numbers.

To play the game, students go fishing for fishies who have ten frames on their bellies with numbers 1-10.  Students count the dots and cover the matching number on their board with a gold fish cracker.  Then the fish is tossed back, face down.  Students continue fishing and covering their board until one player's board is filled.

Animal Antics!

Since we returned from winter break, we have been learning about animals.  In our centers we have a jungle safari in our dramatic play center:

My cuties have been exploring with binoculars I made from toilet tubes and snapping pictures of all the animals to record in their animal journals.

In my sensory table, we had snow made from mixing corn starch and shaving cream.  There were polar bears in there to hide in the snow and camoflauge them.

 For our blocks center, we had zoo animals to build a zoo.

Our art center has ben an exciting place with "how to draw______" cards.  My cuties have loved looking at each step and mastering how to draw different animals.

These cards inspired my cuties to make their own zoo!

I love when they work hard and communicate on what they need to each other.  They had such team work to make their zoo!

 

Have a happy week!

Happy New Year!

I hope 2014 has been a blessing to you and your family.  I have enjoy the first day of the year.  It was a nice day at home for me and my puppies.  I love staying home!

Before I share some new goodies I made, I just had to show y'all the Polar Express train my cuties made before the break.

They worked so hard!

Today I enjoyed creating two new letter units.  I have been tickled pink with the response to these units and love making things when people ask for them.  Here you go!  Letters Nn and Oo are complete.

Have a happy new year!!
