Ocean month

This month is all about ocean so of course we need playdoh. This morning I used two different recipes. This one I got from my FunShine Express curriculum the recipe turned out awesome first time around.

The second I got from Pinterest and it was a Sandough recipe now this came out more sticky than I desire but I think that was my fault it didn't look like there was enough water so I added more and I should have just followed it completely. I have spent the last 30 minutes letting it air-dry a bit trying to get some of the moisture out and it seems to be working.

Pot of gold

I just love Saint Patrick's day, maybe because it also my daughters birthday :) The air is crisp the days are bright. I love all the different ideas I can use in the classroom wind, rain, rainbows, shamrocks, leprachans. So many ideas their is never enough time.

Don't be surprised if your class is full of gold glitter at the end of this activity

Using our scissor skills we cut a pot of gold

then traced our name with glue

Then sprinkled glitter to decorate our names.

Lego Day

This Friday our school was having a movie under the stars night . It's where we watch a movie in the parking lot of the school on a blow up projector. This week the movie was The Lego Movie, to help promote it we had a Lego Day in school.

Circle Time:

Luckily my son has loved Legos from the beginning and I was able to borrow some of his beginning Lego books

I got this idea from this blog and used it with this cut circle time song I made up

Sung to inspector gadget

) ZACHARY

No singing

Z.A.C.H.A.R.Y.

Continue till each child has a turn

Later I  use the Legos, take them apart and have the child put it pack together spelling their name.

Using an idea I got from this this blog I used the template I got from this site. And had each child glue on pants a shirt and draw in a face.

All and all I think Lego day turned out great!
