Camp Fire

 When the outdoor classroom to taken out the children found some of the larger landscaping rocks.  They love to play with them during recess.  They use them in some really creative ways.  Today these 2 girls used them to build a camp fire.

Snow?

 

It was snowing off and on this morning and the children were so excited.  I took them outside to let them try to catch some on their tongues or on there hands.  It had slow down by the time we got out there.  Here are some pictures but you can’t see the snow.  

P.E. Winter and Christmas Games

 Ms. Angotti had several game stations set up for our last week of P.E. class before Christmas Break. 

 I took pictures and forgot to post them.  

So, here they are:

Knock Over the Grinch

Snowball Toss

Ring the Icicle 

Building Igloos

Riding Santa’s Sleigh

 

Indoor Recess

 One day last week when it was too wet and cold we had an indoor recess.  I pulled out some boxes with building toys.  Each student had their own box and they all sanitized before choosing one.  They enjoyed having something new to explore. 

One of my Heroes said she created the Nativity Scene.

I LOVE it!!!

Place Value - Tens and Ones

 We have had a lot of fun learning about tens and ones!

  First, we played a game with popsicle sticks.  On one side there is one dot and on the other is 10 dots.  We would hold a groups of stick and them drop them.  Then we would sort them by tens and ones and write the number.

Then we played the Place Value Sit Down game.  They would choose a 2 digit number to write on their board.  I would call out tens or ones and I would roll a 10 sided die.  If they had that tens or ones number they would have to sit down.  The last one standing was the winner.  They LOVE this game!!

Fall Leaf Fun!!

This last week in our reading series we read the book Seasons.  The book talked about playing in the leaves in fall.  The children decided to play in the leaves during recess.

On another day, it began to rain leaves and the children decided to try to catch some before they hit the ground.

 

Here is our winner! I told him I should call him the the Ninja Leaf Warrior.

Snowmen

 The children worked in groups today to build a snowman with P.E. related objects that Ms. Angotti set out.  They are so creative!  Do you want to build a snowman?
