Pond Life

 We had a lot of fun talking about various animals found in ponds this week!  We got to do some fun crafts, some frog jumping, some duck quacking, and got to watch some fun counting videos too.  Hope you enjoy the pics from our various activities this week.  Look for the fun frog jumping competition we had with Mrs. Laura's class too!  It was hilarious to watch! :)


These were a few of our favorite videos this week about pond animals, letters, and numbers.

These kids have been so much fun this year!  I've loved teaching these sweet ones! :)

Millie Kate shared some fun items for her "All About Me" basket this week.

We talked about the life cycle of a frog in the books we read, and we used our headbands to show the different stages: eggs, tadpole, froglet, and frog.

We rolled a dice and then covered those numbers with our flat marbles.

As you know, we've been working a lot on tracing and writing our names.  We traced our names with dry erase markers this morning during our tabletop activities.  Later, we found our name with magnetic letters and wrote our names with dry erase markers again after spelling it.  This took time, so we still have some kiddos who will finish this next week. :)

We did little frog races with jumping plastic frogs today.  We flipped their tail end to see how far it could go on our number line 0-10.  This was a great fine motor activity, and a great way to review our numbers up to 10 as well.

Everybody got a turn to race back and forth to see who's frog jumped the farthest.

More fun times with friends!

Exercises in the MIM Room

We had some serious frog jumpers today when we competed against Mrs. Laura's class.  Some of our kiddos even decided to wear their frog headbands during their jumping.  It was so fun!

Have a blessed week!
