Weeks 21 and 22

What  a whirlwind of weeks that have gone by. I got the wonderful opportunity to attend a kindergarten conference in San Marcos for 2 days last week. Unfortunately, my sub forgot to take pictures during those days. We also had a snow day and a couple of late starts that really compromised my picture taking too. Here are the highlights of the last two weeks.

Our focus books are below. We have been learning to find patterns in books and make predictions on what the text will be on the following pages once we have learned the pattern. These books also are about community helpers that we have been studying. We also have learned the difference between wants and needs.

Here are the letters we learned. Our sight words have been "are", "for", "you" and "love".

We celebrated our 100th day of school. Here are some of the activities that we did. We wrote our numbers to 100.

We drew pictures of what we would like like when we are 100 years old. Then we wadded the paper up to add wrinkles.

We made 100 fingerprints.

We made 100 dots with Bingo dabbers.

We made 100 day crowns and Fruit Loop necklaces using 100 Fruit Loops.

We had a special snack.

And we made a special snack out of 100 items.

But the celebrating did not stop on that day. We had a late start the next day and still managed to celebrate our 101st day by making dalmatian headbands and painting our faces.

We made our own dalmatian and put 101 spots on him. We grouped the spots by tens and his eyeball was the 101st dot. We enjoyed watching the movie in the afternoon.

Our buddies came and helped us make our Valentine's holders. We had fun with them this week. They even made us a card to celebrate the 100th day of school.

Here are just a few of the Valentine books we read this week.

And we saved the best for last. Our Valentine's party was so awesome. Thanks to all of our parents that helped put this together and bring in supplies, not only for the Valentine party, but our 100 day celebration too. You guys are the best and I couldn't do it without your support.
