Space Week!



Learning about Space this week was so much fun! 
Here we are reading a book about our Solar System.





This friend is drawing his rocket ship!  We had some really creative names for their ships!




These cuties are using a toothpick to punch holes on the lines of their last name!




Free Center fun!











Ms. Jamie reading a story to us




Our birthday boy sharing a special treat!










Show-and-tell was for the letter V today.   We had a vulture, vacuum, vests, videos, video games, a stuffed animal named Violet, a vehicle, V8, vegetables, a van, a vice grip, someone with a last name that begins with a V, a violin and vitamins.  What a great way to learn about the letter "V"
















More free center fun!







Here we are showing the planets we painted.  We gave our planets some pretty creative names too!







Love Our Stars!!

Snowmen!



This week we did lots of snowmen crafts!


Here we are using Q-tips to make a snow globe snowman!




Free-Center fun!





Our Pre-Kinders were so proud of the snow creatures they made at home.  Here are some pictures of them sharing them with our class.














We were so lucky to have some beautiful weather on Wednesday!  We enjoyed every moment we spent outside!















A friend making her name snowman.



More free-center fun!











We are getting so smart!  Here we are working on putting our sight words together to make a sentence!  We could read, "I see it," "We can go to the zoo," and "I see my mom!"








Here all our friends are sharing their show-and-tell items.  We had apples, airplanes, automobiles, alligators, applesauce,  Allie the alligator, Amelia and Anastasia brought themselves, an Arnold, the alphabet and lots of Anna dolls!











Our friends being such good listeners for our story, "Snowmen at Night."






These smarties are showing us their "Snowmen at Night."  We read the book and brainstormed some ideas of what their own snowmen would do at night.  They cut out the snowman, glued on the face, and told us what their snowman likes to do at night.  Some of my favorites were "play snow baseball" and "dance like a ballerina!"






These cuties are showing us their snow globes.  So pretty!





These kiddos are showing us the snowmen they created today.  They had to put the circles in order from largest to smallest and then decorated their snowman.  They came up with some good advice for the snowmen so they don't melt!  Some of my favorites were, "A Snowman Should Not drink lots of hot chocolate," and "A Snowman Should Not go swimming!




We are getting to be such good readers!  Here we are reading "What Is It?"  We are so big, we point to each word as we read out loud.





Our Shining "Stars!"
