December is here!

December means hats and love ♥️!
We talked about the word "Hope" this week and we made our very own Advent wreath with our hands. 
It turned out pretty great! Our first candle is lit and on our wreath!

We challenged our students to make their own 3D shapes with only clay, straws and pospsicle sticks! We were quite pleased with how great they problem solved!
"I made a triangular prism"
"Look look I made a cube!"
"I made sticks to make it flat"
The mega letter hunt on the white board!
Working on fine motor skills and patterning was also ALOT of fun.
Our new donated Doctor kit is quite the hit! What a great way to incorporate dramatic arts, communication, and social skills into our day. Do you have any costumes or cool things we can add to our collection? Send them in!
We had one student share a book about counting to 100. This created a fun center with numbers and stampers.

Did you get to try the pine cone experiment? It's pretty cool isn't it. All students took home a pine cone after we questioned why sometimes they are closed and sometimes open. Ask your child what they learned if you haven't yet. It's pretty cool.
Word and letter fun.
Problem solving outside to build a bridge with resources from the shed. This took a lot of team work and many tries before we got it.
Rosie visited us yesterday and she made a mess!
She will be keeping an eye on us over the next few weeks to tell Santa how we do in school.
She asked us to decorate so we got right to it. 

Happy December!

Pictures only-Family Talks

On this blog you will only see pictures. Why you ask? Wellllllllll many of you are saying these photos spark great conversations at home (that's what we heard from you at observations). So we figured let your children tell you about the photos. Ask them about their learning's, the centers, and other activities! Have fun!!

Spread the LOVE-NO Bullying at our school!
Okay this one gets some info...here is the explanation of Saidat from her website!

 Get your children to sing you this song:
