Dr. Suess

What a wild and crazy week we've had celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday!  We've gotten to dress in crazy socks and mismatched clothes, and read books about crazy characters too!  So much fun reading books from such a special author, and I hope you enjoy the pics from the week.  :)

Tabletop Center Time

We're making progress with pencil grips and tracing our names!  Keep working on hard on those learning rings kiddos! :)

 Colin got to have a turn taking Gumby home this week for some fun times outside and at the YMCA!

Mrs. Karen helping us count out 7 stickers, our number of the week, on our letter Y worksheets.  We also traced them in green crayon too.  Great way to tie in our color, number, and letter of the week!

In our science experiment this week we added food coloring to milk, and we got to see how the fat molecules in milk connect with oil molecules in soap to make really cool colorful designs!  This is an easy and cool one you can do at home, especially if you need to use up milk.  :) 

I dropped a few drops of food coloring in the milk...

I dipped a plain Q-tip in the milk and nothing happened, but...

when I put soap on the end of a Q-tip, this is the cool design we saw!

This was just the fun aftermath of watching all the colors swirl together when we were done watching the movement.  Fun and easy for these little kiddos!

Silly Sock Day with a crazy pose in our socks, and if you look closely, you can see Mrs. Hannah's crazy socks in the air too!

Our sweet class with all their mismatched outfits!

Fun playtime with friends :)

Special snacks this week to celebrate 2 birthdays!  Happy Birthday to Millie Kate and Hudson! :)

We got some wiggles out in the classroom this week by playing with our scarves.  We shook them up high, down low, to each side, behind our back, etc.  Then we talked about all the different colors in our scarves, especially the ones that had green, since that's our color of the week.  We also measured to see who had the longest and shortest scarves as well. This was a great lead-in to some other measuring activities we did with our feet as well.  We read, "The Foot Book" by Dr. Seuss and then measured our feet in cubes and paper clips and practiced tracing the numbers for our measurements.  It's so much fun to do math!

Time to exercise our minds and bodies in the Minds in Motion Room!

Have a blessed week!
