The Return of the Dinosaurs!

One project we keep revisiting whenever the elephants will allow us ;0) is dinosaurs! Here is a peek at us working on our latest dinosaur project. We read books and identified the different dinosaurs, we drew them, cut them out, and then glued them on one big paper. We wanted to give them something to eat, so we cut up some green leaves and trees for them, and the dinosaurs seemed to LOVE what we created!

It will be hanging soon in our room....................

Counting, Reading, Writing

We are spending more and more time everyday counting, reading and writing! You will see in the following picutres that as we play games, or play with different animals we are incorporating ways to count them, spell the colors, and practice writing our letters and numbers.......

Making Elephants out of Clay

Our favorite animal is the elephant. Look at how we made our own elephants out of clay.....

Look at the finish product!!!

Back To Work!

Now that all of the holiday festivities are done, it is time to see what our children want to work on.............and who would have guessed that ELEPHANTS have something to do with it ;0)

In the past couple of days that the children have returned to school, we have been creating elephants out of clay, spelling elephant and practicing our handwriting, doing simple math problems using elephants, and drawing pictures about elephants.

We are also spelling our colors and our names!

It is great that our children are so interested in spelling and writing. It is great that they are developing these skills at their age!

Happy New Year!

Thank you to all of our parents for making our Winter Festival such a success! We had such a wide variety of international foods, and we reached our goal for "snow contributions!" Thank you to all of the parents who donated baked goods, money, and especially to the parents who made $200 contributions. The kids had so much fun playing in the snow, we are already looking forward to next year!
