Beginning of the year centers

 I do a gradual release of our centers. Most of them start in our morning bins, which is free explore then continues with adding "something".  

Hop over here to check out our morning bins.

See the play dough sign in the white bin?

That is the same bin that I use to 

collect the play dough at my open house!

I used mini erasers in a bucket from Dollar Tree 

The cards came from here.

These are those large puzzle blocks from Target.

I don't add anything to these (yet)

After we have a small group to get Pip certified

we can explore at centers time.

Spring has Sprung!

 Well not so much here... we just has sn*w the other day lol

I rely heavily on my public library.

I reserve books about every other week.

This was waiting for me on the last day of my spring break!

We added this to our calendar time.

This is a tri-fold board. I have literally no wall space to use.

Each day we get a letter in our mailbox.

The kids get to open the letters.

March Morning Work Week 2

 Trace, trace, (write) and erase here $

I like when things rhyme lol so we leave out the write part lol

We chant "trace, trace, and erase"

I have searched, unsuccessfully for what these looked like when I bought them from Target, 

but alas, no luck finding them  :(

They will take the "floam" and roll it into snakes to form letters, numbers, or shapes.

These "puzzles" are from Bright Blocks.

I sent for the free puzzles and they sent in these :)

I got these on clearance at Target

I just wanted to let them play with them since they are new,

but I plan to add them to my February morning work bins.

Gingerbread

 This week we kick off our gingerbread unit. Most of the printables come from Pocket of Preschool (PoP)

Here is our play dough bin.

The decorate the gingerbread one is supposed to be a math game where you roll and add gumdrops to the house.  We are going to use play dough to decorate :)

Gumdrop spin and color

Spin the spinner and color that many gumdrops that color.

Trace and make from PoP

Use play dough, or Wiki Sticks or mini erasers.
