Maisy and Daisy

I am sure you get daily or weekly reports about our bunny, Maisy, who lives right outside our window in the courtyard.  She has a friend, Daisy (the white one) that also lives out in the courtyard.  We LOVE watching them each and every day!  Usually when I grab my camera they stop what they are doing or hide!  Today, I caught them right outside the window, and I thought you'd enjoy seeing them at home! :)

Adopt-A-Classroom grant!

Hi parents!   Since we had great success with our classroom rug grant from Adopt-A-Classroom.org, I thought I would try again for a new project, just as urgent (maybe even MORE so)!  As many of you know, we only have three big tables for our friends in our class.  With our number now at 22, this makes our seating very difficult.  In order to make it a little better, I’ve spread friends out at the writing center, as well as a small table I found in a thrift store, and finally at our back counter (which is very difficult because they do not feel as connected as the rest of our friends).  Therefore, we need more tables!!!!  My goal is to purchase at least two more tables (sadly, classroom tables are quite expensive L)!

Please share it with anyone you know who might like to contribute!

Dental Visit...

In honor of Dental Health Month, we had the friends at  ACS' Dental Clinic visit us!  We learned all about how to brush and take care of our teeth!

We even teamed up with Mrs. Collin's class, it was so much fun!

Waiting for the fun to begin!

This is the molinator!

She was so funny!

All eyes on her!

We watched an Elmo song about brushing our teeth!  

 

We learned that if you brush 2x a day, your teeth will be BRIGHT and SHINY!  The teeth lit up!!!

Here is the Elmo song!  It is SUPER catchy! :)

Our newest family member...

This weekend, I took my kiddos to Petco!  Little did I know, I'd be leaving with a new family member!  There were a few guinea pigs up for adoption and I absolutely fell in love with one little girl named Annie!

The kids are SO EXCITED!  We could hardly contain ourselves until center time.  During centers, I called friends up in small groups to meet Annie AND to make a set of rules for her.  They came up with some interesting ones!

Jessica

She is PRECIOUS!

She doesn't like photos ;)

I have a feeling she's going to be spoiled rotten! :)

She is only 1 month old, so teeny tiny!

Valentine's...

Last week, we worked on SO many Valentine activities.  I only caught a few pictures. :(

We began our week with a Valentine Bee Glyph!

If you look at the key, you can tell what each piece means.

Here they are hanging in our room!

They are so cute!

We also delivered our Valentine's!  

 

I hope you enjoyed your Valentine magnet AND the Valentine keepsake book in your child's Friday folder!

The Opening Ceremonies...

Last Friday, CWES had our very own Opening Ceremony for the Olympics!  We met as a school in the gym for this special event!

One child's name from each classroom was drawn out of a hat to be a torch carrier.  Ford was our winner!   Here he is posing with the torch before the ceremony! :)

Our friends sitting so nicely!

Waiting patiently to begin!

Lighting the torch.

Aren't they precious!?

Love it!

The whole school!

All of the countries flags were shown on the big screen and their national anthem played.  If you had that countries flag, you stood up!

It was such a wonderful and meaningful experience!

I hope you get to share a bit of the Olympics with your child at home! :)
