Whew! I am still trying to recover from having to teach for
five whole days in a row! This was the first week since before Christmas that we didn't have one or more snow/extreme cold day or a two hour delay. We actually went to school for five days! We were supposed to have Friday & Monday off for Presidents' Day weekend, but we lost both due to the weather. Actually, I'm OK with that. The Kinders needed to get back to a regular routine. (Now, if we could go back outside for recess, we'll be all set!)
Here are some highlights from our week. Thanks to
Doodle Bugs for hosting this fun linky!
We played a fun game (
Freebie from An Adventure in Literacy) this week. The kids had fun rolling the big foam number cube! We played this as a class ~ the student who rolled the number got to pick which word was to be crossed out. It was not only fun, but great practice reading CVC words!
Panda Valentine bags. We had fun decorating our bags to look like pandas. I think they really turned out cute. Next year, I have to try to find bigger bags ~ they were overflowing by the time all the Valentine goodies were passed out!
We wrote letters to our parents telling them why we love them. These are so cute! I'm sure that their parents are going to keep these! (Old habits die hard ~ the Kinders draw a line through their name with a highlighter on their papers. Lilah did it out of habit! I do have to say that since we started highlighting our names, I have had far fewer no name papers!)
I have to give a shout out to Becca, one of my awesome teaching partners for coming up with this cute idea for our hallway bulletin boards. Each student got a copy of a blank person to take home & decorate with the help of their parents. I like these "take home" craft projects ~ it's fun to see what families can do when they work together!

Your blog is so cute! I loved your valentines day post, especially the letters your kiddos wrote to their parents. Those were amazing, and make me think I need to raise the bar on what I expect my kiddos to write! :)
