Week in review: Community Helpers

I have no idea where these came from, but I find them hilarious lol

the jobs and the clothes are killer lol

Found another book

I made sensory bins for each set of 2 sorting cards.

The felt book from Target and

puzzles.

Another sensory bin-

most people have those colorful bears...

I have colorful frogs lol

I offered three kinds of tongs.

Still have Scooby snacks!

Magnetic Dolls from Melissa & Doug

Problem solving that the envelope won't fit.

Making stoplights

Giving haircuts to tp rolls.

Sensory bin with glass beads

Check up Center

I have made these twice... each time I try to make

a filled in heart...

each time, it fails lol

I learned to make a heart by drawing two dots touching and 

draw in a V at the bottom, voila! 

Doesn't work with frosting lol

Worked more on cutting skills than coloring lol

Brought down some vehicles.

I think this week was a HIT! 

We did pretty much everything.

Doc McStuffins Check-Up center is still out and the mailbox too.

Art~ Torn Tape Heart

I literally have no idea how this will end.  I am offering some sparkly tape for the FIRST time. I will need to make sure that I show him exactly how to work the dispenser.  I have had first graders have no clue!

Math/Life Skills/Science  Shake Up

This uses an egg carton.  I use garage sale dots and add whatever skill I want to work on or review.  This week I might choose heart, 15, pink, x's. Then either make doubles or add different shapes, numbers, or letters. Print out, tape on top of an egg carton.  Add items to garage sale dots, stick inside the egg carton.  Add a red/pink: eraser, pony bead, heart, glass bead, kidney bean.  Close cover. Shake. Open. Read what is on the sticker in the cup where the item landed. Close and repeat.

Journal-Tracing Sheet

Snack- Valentine's Snack Mix

Tuesday-

Story- What Color is Your Heart? 

Fingerplay- Don't have hearts? Use your fingers :)

Art- Thumbprint Magnets  
I will probably just do cardstock and add a small magnet on the back. I plan to give these as gifts.

Math/Life Skills/Science- Valentine Shapes

Journal-Cutting Sheet trace first then cut

Snack-Dipped Pretzels 
I think I will make these ahead of time. Takes longer to dry chocolate.

Thursday-

Story- Little Hearts 

Fingerplays- (broken link)

Art- Red, White, Pink Pony Beads on pipe cleaners  
I am just using the pony beads I have, I am not getting heart ones, but totally get some if you want :)  Use what you have :)

Math/Life Skills/Science Valentine's Match with hearts and 10 frames
I will take out the word heart I will also offer heart counters if he wants to use those.

Journal-Light Box with hearts
Match hearts to number on heart cut outs. I am going to get some transparencies, report covers, blank laminating sheets and draw hearts on them and add numbers so they have to match the number to the number of hearts. I grabbed the hearts at dollar tree.  Thank you Play to Learn Preschool for the idea! They used doilies :) Draw hearts and cut them out. Write number words, or ten frames or tallies, or numerals.  Children match the correct number of hearts to the numbers on the hearts.

Snack- Pink or red heart krispie treats
Make regular rice krispie treats, color them red or pink and using a cookie cutter, cut in the shape of hearts. Make sure to use a low jelly roll pan.

Friday-

Story Where is the Heart?

Fingerplays- FSP Pink Song

Art- Hole Punch Heart

So my goal on these is just to have him punch out on the circles.
I will cut the hearts out for him. The single hole punch photo was with the Rainbow Airheads photo from Walmart.

Math/Life Skills/Science Valentine Number Roll and Cover

Here are the dice to use

Cover with stickers (backing still on), clear hearts, red glass beads.



Journal- Salt Tray
Print letters from HERE or HERE   or THESE  
The tray that I think she used was from lacing shapes from Target.
I don't plan to cut out the hearts in a heart shape- I want it flat so it doesn't tip over.

I've also served this with fruit salsa!

Week in Review: Weather

Adding the trucks to his 14 days of Love envelope.

There is another row of green cards.

I was trying to fit it in my smaller

pocket chart lol

 How fabulous!!

Froglet got a Paw Patrol calendar for Christmas.

I wanted it to be something that was worthwhile and meaningful,

so I made small stickers for him to attach.

I used small mailing labels.

I got about 3 to each label.

I drew 4 things from the week.

I plan to grab my stamp sets and see what works. 

Great process art- not very exciting ending lol

He had a blast "painting" so it was totally worth it!!

I am all for keeping it real.

Here was the weather page I added to his binder...

I guess he didn't like it too much! :)

It is still there.

Here was the groundhog cookie and Froglet was 

coloring his for his cup.

Game seemed simple and I thought that it would take no time to win.

We played several times and none took less than 10 minutes. 

Each player gets the 4 weather cards.

Spin and whatever spot you land on, you turn your card over.

I didn't realize that the gameboard was color coded until, 

oh the 5th or so time we played lol

Froglet played this game many times over the course of the week and 

each time he got it out, we played about three times in a row.

They do in fact still have rainbow airheads!
