Rainbows!


What a fun RAINBOW week! 




We worked hard practicing our first and last names by "rainbow writing" them.



...and we worked hard reading and writing our sight words. :)  



We discussed rhyming words and each child created his/her own "Rainbow Rhyme".  




our big door holder :) 



We love the Minds-in-Motion room!! 





SILLY girl :) 


Thanks to this sweet friend, we had wonderful RAINBOW snacks all week!! 







We strengthen our fine motor muscles at morning table top centers! 


... and we practice all the things we are learning during class time!  


This smart boy matched the uppercase letter to its lowercase. :)  


During Nutrition week, our class made rainbows from real fruits and veggies!  We pulled these out this week and discussed again what it means to "Eat a Rainbow" and to make healthy choices.  







little dancers :) 


We had a couple of these Rainbow Emergent Readers in class this week.  After reading it together as a class, the students were so excited to read them on their own.  The catchy phrases and sight word/color words made it possible for the class to read them!  




"Blue stripe, blue stripe, what do you see??" ...


"I see a rainbow looking at me!" 


making rainbows by matching upper case letters to their lower case... 





helping each other :) 



These guys are so big!  They are making a numbers book.... 


... and filling out the tens frames for each number! 


"Student of the Day" kiddos this week...






 Hope you enjoyed this glimpse of your child's week at school!!  Come back soon. :)

Happy Easter!



Here we are working hard cutting and pasting Easter eggs.  We also put all these eggs in order from 11-20!  



Our "student of the day" for Monday :) 


We work on our writing and drawing skills each day after our student of the day presents to our class.  We write his/her name and draw a picture of that student! 


Then we put all the pages together to make a book for that child.  :) 



The class LOVED our resurrection eggs and the book that goes with them.  We learned what the Bible tells us about Easter... how Jesus gave his life for us because He loves us soo much.


After reading about Palm Sunday and how Jesus rode on a donkey and the crowds waved palm branches at him, we opened the first egg!  


.... a donkey. :) 


pastel rice and easter eggs! so fun in the sensory bin :) 


working hard on making sentences with our sight words :)
