Dr. Seuss

"A person is a person no matter how small" -Dr. Seuss. This is a phrase that echos through my noggin on a daily basis...and one I value so much. This was a fun week exploring and celebrating such a wise author. We worked on the letter Ss and Yy (we will continue those next week) and numbers 0-10.

Thursday:

Our last week with adventures with Pokey and Gumby.
Thank you parents for participating in this activity...I know it falls on your shoulders!

After listening to, Horton Hears a Who we made Horton's of our own...

This sweet boy's mama went all out with snack! She sent in all Ss things! S'mores and strawberries!

What a great week...we are going to continue Dr. Seuss this week too. The following week we will spend 1 day on St. Patricks Day and 1 day on Easter... The 2 holidays we will miss over spring break.

President's Day

This week we learned a few neat things about our Presidents. We got to sort money, work on the letter Kk, measure using non-standard units of measurement, vote for a class pet (we aren't really getting one), and share what we would do if we were the President.

Thursday:

Voting for the animal we would want to have in our class!

The results are in! The cat won by a landslide!

Making our very own George Washington (just in case you were wondering what this thing was! lol!!)

letter Kk hunt

Money sort and count. This was great for the kiddos to pay close attention to the details of the coins.

Checking out some of our past Presidents.

What we would do if we were the President! The have some great ideas of making our country a great place!

 Friday:

Pokey fun!

Gumby's adventures!

sponge painting the American Flag...

Kinder Prep put on a special Patriotic Parade!

Measuring using non-standard units of measurements. We got to compare how many coins we used for each measurement of the marker. We discovered it took more dimes to measure the marker than the Quarter because the quarter is larger.

Heads and Tales tally sheet...

Dr. Jenkins came to visit and teach us about our teeth...

What a penny would look like if we were on it!

Next week we will be exploring an amazing author who loves kiddos and ALL people! He teaches us so many truthful lessons...if we all were like Dr. Seuss our world would be a better place!
