Dr. Seuss!

Do you like green eggs and ham?  Oh, the things we did think this week while learning about Dr. Seuss!  We made red and white hats that look just like “The Cat in the Hat”, painted hats red and white and learned an AB pattern, counted goldfish crackers and placed them in matching numbered fishbowls (then we ate the fish), learned about rectangles, found the hidden letter “Y” in a search and find puzzle, practiced cutting lines, a rectangle and the letter Y, created a “y”ellow “Y” using “y”arn and “y”ellow paper, played a shape matching game and memory game using Dr. Seuss images, practiced hand-eye coordination with dotters, listened to some of Mrs. Kelly’s favorite Dr. Seuss books, and made green eggs and ham!

Working with dough is always a hit!

Look at all of these Dr. Seuss books!

Not only does Mrs. Kelly like to use her imagination and dress as certain characters, but our friends in class like to do the same!

Thank you Mrs. Jaime for helping us learn on Thursday!

We love these giant numbers!

Each day at circle time, we use finger puppets to create the numbers in the air while we sing the "Numeral Song".  

Rectangle show-and-tell was a huge success!

Thank you Eden for being a wonderful "Student of the Day"!

We worked together as a large group to create our Dr. Seuss hats.

Yay for Dr. Seuss!

Do you like green eggs and ham?

Thank you Lola for being our fun "Student of the Day"!

Remembering the color "gray" isn't easy.  But Eden helped us tremendously on this day because her outfit was full of the color gray!  Thank you Eden for helping us remember the color gray!

Dental Health!

Brush, brush, brush your teeth!  Brush the germs away!  Happy, healthy teeth you’ll have by brushing every day!  Dental health is one of my favorite themes!  We had so much fun learning about keeping our mouths and teeth clean and healthy.  We practiced cutting by making a toothbrush with puffy paint paste, practiced writing/tracing our name, brushed the baby dolls’ teeth in the sensory bin using real toothpaste, water and toothbrushes, brushed “sugar bugs” off of teeth with toothbrushes in the art center, learned about the letter “x” while discussing x-rays, sorted different foods that make our teeth happy vs. sad, and painted yellow, yucky teeth white!  We also practiced exercising our fine motor skills by manipulating play-doh to create little teeth on the new play-doh mats we have.  We have been very busy little dentists!

Great job brushing!

Oh, this poor sweet baby.  Ha!

Great hand-eye coordination!  Using the dotter to make letters isn't always easy.

We used scissors to cut and create our personalized toothbrushes.  We even wrote our names on them!

Thank you Amelia for being such a fabulous "Student of the Day"!

Which foods make our teeth happy and healthy?

Which foods make our teeth sad and unhealthy?

Our class did a great job making this fun chart!

Can you make teeth out of playdoh for our fun playdoh mats?

Maddie is placing yucky sugar bugs on these teeth so we can practice brushing them clean.

Mrs. Karen caught this sweet group of friends having a "picnic" together.

We love it when we see their imaginations grow.  

Wow!  Check out all of these dentists!

We had fun making pretend mouths.  We used marshmallows as teeth!

Yuck!  These teeth are yellow!

Can you paint this giant tooth white with a toothbrush so it looks healthy again?

We are so creative with blocks and train tracks!  Building is so much fun.

This is one of my favorite photos of the year.  Look at how precious this is!!!  This group of friends had an imaginary picnic together, but they decided to pray before they started to eat.  Wow!  I am so proud of them!  So sweet.....

Thank you Cooper for being such a "SUPER" Student of the Day!
