100 Days of Learning, Loving and Laughing

We started the day coloring 100 pictures to make a "100" Day hat. Then we played the 100 second Challenge Game! 

Here they are counting how many times they can clap their hands in 100 seconds

 This is my FAVORITE 100's day activity! Before we go to specials we read "Wolf's Chicken Stew" then when we they return to class they discover that there are 100 chicks loose in our classroom!!! Here they are on a chick hunt!

After we counted our loot we were 3 short! Some of those chicks were really good hiders but in the end we found all 100!

Groundhog Day 2016

WHEW!!! We were so happy to learn that the groundhog did not see his shadow! These kids are ready for SPRING!!

Here's our predictions we made on Monday...

Groundhog Song (tune: I'm a Little Tea Cup)

It's all about the money, money, money!

This week we continued to learn the name of the coins: quarter, nickel, penny, and dime. K1 had a chance to empty and sort Mrs. Broadhurst's piggy bank and play a few coin games! Math stations were very noisy this week with all the "cling-clanging"!

I loved this picture. Counting money is much more fun when you're wearing a pink princess ring :)

Lunch time smiles!

 Lunch time is without a doubt one of their most favorite times of the day. I love hearing their conversations, pretend play, made-up jokes and just great giggles during this (mostly) unstructured time in our day. They've come quite a long way since the first day of school!

Hugs for Soldiers

Last week during our library time we got to make Valentines for soldiers. K1 had so much fun cutting, coloring, decorating and writing a sweet note to one of our very favorite community helpers!
