Happy Hat Day!

FREE CHOICE~
Lily's creation with the "indoor snowballs".
 Will copies a design from a picture on to the cork board with wooden shapes, nails, and a hammer.  A great spatial reasoning activity!
 HANDWRITING~
We have learned hot to correctly write the numbers 1 through 10!  We will continue to practice writing numbers correctly for the duration of the school year.


 STAR OF THE WEEK~
We learned more about our friend, Jon, today--the new "Star of the Week"!  Jon's favorite things include the color red, eating at Subway, eating popsicles for dessert, and drawing.  Jon also shared his photos with us and a special airplane.  Thank you for sharing with us today, Jon!
 STORY~
This was a great read-aloud today!  Be sure to ask your child what the hippo in the story learned about giving hugs!


 HIPPOPOTAMUS~
Today we looked at the word hippopotamus to count how many letters are in this long word.  One child raised his hand and commented that he saw one of our "popcorn words" in the word.  It was the word "pop".  Then other children noticed more words that were inside the word hippopotamus, including:   "hip", "pot", "am", and "us".  We are becoming great readers!
 "HUMPTY DUMPTY"~
Our new nursery rhyme is "Humpty Dumpty".  It has been added to the pocket chart in the Book Nook as well as to our Nursery Rhyme Journals.
