X is for X-Ray


Today was X Day!!

We studied Mr. Bones and did some observational drawings in our Science Journal: 


We made our own Xrays

And we also studied REAL Xrays... but my photos are GONE!!! Where did they go? I really don't know. But the xrays are awesome!!

Seasons and Weather

S is for Silly Socks!!


 S is for Seasons!

We learned about the 4 seasons and about how trees (and other plants) and animals and people change with the seasons.

 W is for Weather and Wind! 
We became Scientists today! We made predictions on what the wind could move and then tested our hypothesis!
 We explored some more, and recorded our findings in our science journals!

 Which kind of weather do you like the most?!

Halloween Painting!!

We had SO much fun painting Halloween pictures!!

We used our SHAPES to create our own Haunted Houses, then used water colors to add some color!

Yellow Moon, Yellow Moon
What do you see?

Patterned after the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", we made our own book of Halloween colors with Halloween Spooks!
I love the way they illustrated these books.

I have so many more photos to share!! 
But the World Wide Web doesn't want me to share them with you.
I'll keep trying! :)

Painting with Cars...


~ R ~

Driving race cars through the paint!

As we drive our cars through the paint and drive them over our papers we say the R sound!! It makes for a super fun /r/ practice! What a TRICKY TRICKY sound 


CHEF KELLY!!

 ...and now...
The MOMENT we've all been waiting for!!
CHEF KELLY is in the house!!!


With Letter R, we wanted to talk a little about Restaurants so we had a "Community Helper" come into the class.... complete with a {oh so real sounding} Italian Accent! 

Today, Chef Kelly taught us how to make Pizza!!

 He had the kids' attention captivated once he threw that dough up in the air!!
The kids were giggling the entire time!
 "Smell-Z-Sauce"
 Time to make our own pizzas!
 Chef Kelly helped us with every step of the way!
 Ready to go in Z oven!!

While we waited, Chef Kelly told us a Italian Fable..... it was FANTASTIC!! 
 

 THANK YOU CHEF KELLY!! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH YOU TODAY!!
