Work Week in Review

 For some reason, our mats were curling up, so I put them under the drawers and it kept the mat flat and the poms in place. 

And then they ask me how to sound out their words!

March Bins 2

Here's what we did for moring work:

Pom-poms 

Pattern blocks (note to self: buy more green triangles.  I had to borrow some from two teachers lol)

Lego bricks from Dollar Tree

Here we rolled the number cube and added that many play dough balls to our pot!

I got the printable here.

I had my students lay the sticks on the board first and then make the shape next to the card.

These came from here.

We made rainbow pots.

I took out the scissors and we tore the paper instead.

Nursery Rhyme Centers

I share my room, so all of my centers on these shelves:

Our sensory bin for St Patricks day: 

I got those pieces at Dollar Tree, check out what else I got here.

 

From Pocket of Preschool

Kids use tongs to pick a piece in the pom-poms and then they place them on the game board.

Build a tower for Jack to jump over. 

Building stick letters from pipe cleaners

Matching mice letters

We practiced tieing shoes.

Muffin Man muffins

I have no idea what nursery rhyme this goes with, but I wanted to use them lol

I just got them, so I didn't want to wait to use them lol

March Morning Bins

 Morning Work

Here we have more from HERE.

We cut out the shamrock and then punch them with a hole punch.

Here we trace, trace and erase.

We trace with our finger, trace with marker and 

then write it on our own.

I call these skittles cards lol

Here is me prepping them :)

Make the pattern and then continue it.

Here we take a JUMBO push pins.

The children lay on their bellies and strengthen their cores and fine motor!

I know it says q-tip painting, but I laminated it and we use beads :)

Week in review: Seuss and more

I have struggled all year with my morning bins.

Last year we had four days of school and four activities.

Changed them on Friday, easy peasy!

Well this year, I needed to have five sets of activities.

I  hardly remember to change the names by moving them down, but

then I can't remember who used the bin lol

So I attached this paper clip

on the top one when I change the drawers out.

This seems to work... so far!

             

I used letter beads in those wooden trays from Bullseye's Playground at Target.

We used heart beads here!

Here are some other highlights this week!

I tipped the tables upside down to attach 

our letter book pages. We laid on our backs.

We measured up with the Cat in the Hat.

We wore crazy socks.

I added green eggs and red spoons to our sensory bin.

We built under my loft.

I used to have a curtain blocking my theme boxes, 

but a student tore them down...

I had these silly bands, I wanted to use them, 

but not use them up lol

I picked a few packs and spread them out, then

I popped them on my color copy machine and the kids have to match!!! 

February Morning Work Week 3/4

Morning work this week:

Cube blocks from here.

Spin & Trace

I attached a spinner from Amazon.

I tell them to spin and trace-

then to spin and erase. 

I bought these wood numbers and letters from Target.

I added small heart beads to fill in the spaces.

This year, I needed three...

                                I grabbed this green puzzle from Dollar Tree.

                                

Those containers are from Dollar Tree too!

This month- apparently I cut off the hearts lol- 

for our scissors skills this month.

so I sing "Don't go cutting my heart" Think Elton John ;) 

I got those high lighters from Naeir
