| With the first snowfall the children were so excited and wanted to make snowflakes...great practice of scissor skills. |
 |
| Friends! |
 |
| The boys are so interested in making their cars move...this ramp was used all over the classroom. |
 |
| "I lost my fun Friday toy. This paper says, my toy is lost." |
 |
| "I made this all by myself." |
 |
| This student found a box in the recycling bin and asked if she could have it. She made a dog house, but didn't have a dog. After searching the cupboards, we found a dog and some dog bones. "I can say all these letters on the bone...p l a y." |
 |
| After reading a book about space, he build a rocket ship. |
 |
| "I built this house!" During their play the boys made a connection to a story we read last week, called Our House. |
Our snails are still doing well. The snails at my house had 138 babies
so I brought some in to add to our snail habitat. Our snails have since had 100 more...
if anyone would like to raise some snails...let me know.
 |
| "This is my rocket blasting off." |
 |
| "Let's make a maze, like the kind of maze a mouse goes through." "How will we get the toy to go through?"\ "Let's tie it to this stick." |
 |
| "This is hard." "The maze is wrecking when we pull the toy through." "I have a hex bug that could do the maze...it's at my house." "I have one too...let's bring them for Fun Friday!" |
 |
Fun Friday Arrives..."Look Miss, we brought our Hex Bugs!"
"Let's make the maze."
 |
| Notice the silver hex bug. |
"This worked better for the silver Hex bug. The red one didn't work though."
"I don't know why mine wouldn't do it."
"Maybe it needs new batteries."
"Maybe the maze is too skinny."
They came up with all sorts of reasons why the red bug wouldn't travel through the maze and tested many of them out.
