Pattern Snakes

We have been working on patterns in our class the last few weeks!   I got the idea to make some pattern snakes on a desert theme background.   Here is how our little project turned out!

Cranberries

Today was a very fun day in our little class!   We have been learning about heat and we made cranberry sauce!   We watched the cranberries cook all day long and our room SMELLED soooooo good!   The kids loved it!  

Cranberry sauce is so simple to make!

Pumpkin, Pumpkin

 

We planted a pumpkin seed back in October from a pumpkin we carved from the pumpkin patch.  It now looks like this.   The students were able to see the seed leaves drying up!   They were amazed!!!

 

 

                                                  

Update!!!!  We have a pumpkin flower!!!   The kids were so excited to see it!   I love all the cute pumpkin books I have collected over the years to teach the kiddos about the pumpkin life cycle....but nothing beats the hands on experience of seeing it grown before our eyes.   If only it wasn't December in Texas...we plant it!!

How Many Peppermints In The Jar

Today at library my students got to guess how many peppermints were in the jar.  I had some great guesses.   2....200.....231....250... 3 million.   LOL....always something to laugh at in kinder.

                      Good luck to the winner!

Time To Decorate The Tree

Finally .....the day has come to put up our tree!   This morning we talked about celebrations around the world and we each got to put an ornament on the tree.  We will be kicking off learning about holiday celebrations around the world this week!

                           

Polar Express Counting Jar

Check out the new product I made on TPT!   It's called the Polar Express Counting Jar!   My kiddos love going to the counting jar and counting the new items I place in it!  This is a super cute book that asks kids to count how many items they see in the counting jar and record their answer.  It's Polar Express theme!   Very easy to make and you can use this during math time on Polar Express day!  Enjoy!

Meet Mr. Max

This is my little chocolate brown Chihuahua named Max!  I was doing a little decorating for Christmas and I found his Christmas sweater!   He looks so cute in it...but I think he feels a little funny.  LOL

I have had Max for 5 years!  He is a great companion!  He loves to eat, snuggle, and lay in the sunshine!!
