Morning bins Jan/Feb

The last week of the month, we will begin our Olympic study.

 We are going to draw and write theme words.

Making our O letter page from here.

I grabbed the paper reinforcers from WalMart.

Cutting strips from here.

Felt lacers from Target.

Hibernation in Kinderpond

One of two bookshelves (no idea where the other photo is though lol)

 I had them build a cave to play the game. *

Making patterns*

I love me some mini erasers :)

groundhog trace*

Sleeping squirrels numbers*

We put these in a pocket chart.

They match number, ten frames, and acorn number.

Pick a turtle write the letter and build with rocks,*

Hedgehop puzzles*

I don't think anyone played with this-

that's when you can pull it and use it as a transition activity.

This is find the bat in the bat cave*

This game gets heated in my room!!!!

One child hides the bat behind the number on a cave.
The other children have to say the number before they pick a cave.

Here you roll the number cube and then the color cube. 

Take that many of that color.

I took the blue and white out of my light table boxes from Learning Resources.

This is the closest I have seen to mine.

I have some random 3D shapes too but they are pretty old lol

**Find the printables HERE.

Morning Bins and Sn*w Learning

Ice Cube Patterns $

Sn*wflake Beads to lace on sparkly pipe cleaners

Polar Animal letters, shapes, and numbers $

We have been using dry erase markers but they have been a real bear to erase!

So we are going to try wet-erase on these. 

Melted Sn*wmen

I literally cut 1-inch strips of scratch paper, some orange squares,

 and some brown strips of colored paper.

Kids will cut the paper to make a sn*wman :)

Here is our science center.

The printables are found here.$

Like my purple curtain?

I literally hot glued it to the workbench lol

At least it covered most of the shelves lol

In the blue pocket chart, the kids can match the tiny sn*wflakes to some bigger ones.

All the cards are on the left-hand side of the table in the blue container.

There are blue and white cubes to measure the flakes, 

there are glass beads and blue pattern blocks to make flakes

I added some sn*wflake frames in those heavy-duty plastic sleeves.

They used a sn*wflake cookie cutter and the tools HERE to make the patterns.

After we read Sn*wmen at Night

we made this chart 

(Apparently, my Dyslexia came through spelling sn*wmen!)

You could be all fancy and use item counters like a carrot 

eraser and buttons, but we just got Unifix cubes!

Pattern block challenge

Snapcube challenge

Pocket chart numbers-

I think there are 3 or 4 things to match to the number head.

I pulled all my blue magnatiles for our light table.

We also got these!!!!!!

Hop over here to see how I store my pom-poms.
I am also thinking of doing the same with LEGO bricks.

I got these from Target and going to put them in the blocks center.

I have some playdough cards and some snowmen cookie cutters.

The kids bring in 4 containers of playdough.

I try to choose colors that fit the month.

Blues for January.

Here's a dice game where the children roll the number cube and add mini erasers.

Oh.... and my least favorite word is sn*w lol

my students think it is so funny.

It is the first word that I actively teach them to read lol

just so I don't have to say it!!! 

Next week, I will show you our morning work. :)
