let it go...

This week we did not really follow any lesson plans. We kind of just let learning and play just naturally happen.....The results were pretty awesome!

Ben was really into that book!

Tatum loves to look at books in the loft.  :)

 Jameson and Derek were looking for different colors of bugs.

Lucas was working with Miss Angela on  tracing hearts.

Cj, Ty,Ben and Lillie built letters with the Handwriting without tears wood pieces. Way to to friends!

Playdough with Miss Barb is a great way to spend the morning. :)

Tatum was so happy to write her message.

Sammy says "Cheeeeeeeese!"

Max and Lucas gathered all of the cars into a pile.

Lillie and Marina were baking something yummy!

I see a tummy  :D

Wax paper ice skating was a ton of fun!   We even listened to the "Frozen" soundtrack.

 Sammy and Nolan had the idea to catch animals in a net, so we decided to try it out with the parachute.

Valentine volcanoes and Valentine party

We put baking soda in heart cookie cutters and then the friends used droppers to add the "lava." (red food coloring and vinegar) The more "lava" you add, the bigger the eruption!

Here are a couple pictures from our Valentine's party!  Thanks to everyone for sending Valentines!  Also a big thank you to the grandparents that came and helped out!  :)

Valentine Centers

Here are a few pictures from our Valentine heart stamping.It's amazing what you can do with a paper towel roll!

Throughout the week, friends have been decorating hearts with all kinds of goodies!

This is our Valentine heart puzzle activity. Each heart is cut in half with an upper case letter and lower case letter on each site. The goal is to put the hearts together with the correct letters.  (The other version of this game has a number on one half and that number of dots on the other half.)

 

Lucas was working with Miss Angela on heart tracing.

All week, friends have been creating friendship and love cards. This is a wonderful activity from creative curriculum.

Easton was working on matching uppercase and lowercase letters.  :)

Max and Lucas found matching hearts!

These are the wood pieces from handwriting with out tears. The pieces fit together to make capital letters. This also doubles as the stick letter activity from creative curriculum.
