Snow Centers!

Thank you to all my families who came to snow centers on Monday!  With all the snow we've gotten the past week, it was great timing to have 30 minutes of exploration time with our families!
We made yummy snowman soup, read snow books, estimated how many blueberry candy canes were in our jar, played a dice game to  build a snowman, wrote what we'd like to do in the snow, and created snowmen!
The KinderKids love sharing their classroom with you! 






What memories we have just created!

Pp is for PIZZA!

We made little pizzas to celebrate the letter Pp last Thursday. 
Since I have a student teacher, it was an awesome opportunity for me to call  a few  KindKids out at a time and help them.  I LOVED IT! 
It isn't very often that I get to have one-on-one time for 5-10 minutes with my darling kiddos. 
The recipe for these yummy pizzas came home in last week's Friday folder!  Maybe you can make them at home this weekend?

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

We may not have snow outside, but in Room 408 we have been creating snow projects to help prompt the arrival of some MUCH NEEDED winter weather.

Please stop by our classroom to see all the amazing masterpieces.  I am one proud teacher!
