our giant tape ball had some action a few weeks ago.
from the sanctuary (also known as “big church room”) down to our classroom.
(i was on my back taking these and the ball rammed the camera into my face. yikes.)
and if the ball made it’s way around the corner like this to the classroom, that was a “goal.”
hat rhymes with cat, bat, sat, mat, and rat.
we had only capital letters one day, added lowercase the next.
there were some friends wanting a ramp for cars one day. we taped a piece of posterboard to a low stool.
we kept it for our rolling puzzle pieces.
technically, these are geoboards. but we call them rubber band boards. they are a well liked activity.
a great opportunity to create in the abstract. this is a rocket ship:
expect to spend a lot of clean up time finding wayward rubber bands (or pieces of them) around the room. that is when i announce “rubber band rescue!”
we love this silly, silly song.
we love reusing items. here we used paper plates, gray fabric and the one gray plastic bag i could find! since it was a short week and we wanted to use these at circle time, i made their pieces stick with hot glue.
and how silly that the elephants we made all had everyone’s names with a W at the front (except for one friend who was in tears because he KNEW his name started with K and not W…we covered the silly name with fabric).
and how silly that the elephants talked (but only ms. kristin could hear them).
and how silly that they played hide and seek from the grandma and grandpa friends.
and how silly that these elephants might be sitting on you at home now!
i decided to use a piece of cardboard and left over orange paper to make a BIG version of our collage carrots (in case that maybe real-maybe not real easter bunny is really hungry).
again, we pretended there were no scissors. again, we used up all the glue we had (for real).
and i should not be surprised that my TTH class thought to dig through the shelves to find orange/green ribbon and lace. i love that!
it wasn’t dry when we left school for easter break, so i am excited to see it finished and shiny from all the glue.
let me begin this post expressing gratitude that no. eyes. were. poked. out. ahhhhhh.
we drew ourselves under umbrellas (a great chance to see self-portrait work).
we played games under my big umbrella.
this is a basic find the item hidden in an egg, match it to the photcopied picture. some kids were shaking the eggs first to try to figure out which item it was.
we move into the hallway when we want hard floor or more space to work on.
or when we want to put on all our rainy weather gear for a fashion show.
