Welcome!

I thought that a blog for our classroom would be a fun way for you to have a glimpse of what we do on a day to day basis.  I won't promise that it will be a daily thing, but I do hope to blog regularly.  There won't be anything profound or extremely awesome here, just regular things that we do all the time.  It might give you some insite to why we do things the way that we do them in our classroom. 

Today we finished up some more of our snow people 3D projects. The older kids are really enjoying being creative and original as they build a snow person! 

Two of our favorite stories right now are Pinkalicious and The Snowy Day. Both stories have a boy named Peter in them.  Ask your child to tell you about the stories. 

Last week we painted in the snow and measured a GIANT icicle. I posted some pictures by the door for you to see all the fun things we did.

Today we went on a walk just to get out of the room for a little while. We went outside and ran and hopped and jumped to burn off some energy. Then we walked around and found some things that are still green to add to our science center. We found several things, even when most everything is dead for the winter. One of the things we found was a piece of an evergreen tree, and it smells like christmas to me!

Speaking of everything being dead - we have lost our second fish friend since our Christmas party. I am apparently doing something wrong. So we will try one more time with a new fish and a new bowl.  Keep your fingers crossed that this one survives for a little while.  Luckily, the hermit crab is thriving and has become something the kids look forward to seeing everyday. 

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the blog idea. I love to get some feedback from all of you.
