ARGHHH!! Our Pirate Ship~

We were lucky enough to have a high school class make a dramatic play Pirate Ship for our classroom.  They also made us eye patches, binocular, telescopes and helped us make our own pirate hats!  

 I let the students play in it at Center Time! They love it!

 High school students helping us make our hats out of newspapers!

Earth Day~

I have been very busy lately coaching track and recently getting engaged :) that I have been slacking big time on our class blog.  This week we have been talking about how important it is to keep our Earth clean.  We did an art/writing activity.  We used green and blue paint to make our very own Earth's.  I had each student squirt paint onto one side of the circle.  Then they had to fold the paper in half and squeeze the paint so it covered the whole circle.  

 Taa-Daa!

We wrote "The Earth" on the top.  Then each student had to pick an idea how they would help our Earth.  Some wrote that they would plant trees and others wrote that they would pick up trash.  

Easter Art~

We made our very own Easter Eggs.  I used sweet and condensed milk and mixed it with neon food coloring.  This is always one of my favorite activities to do, because the sweet and condensed milk gets hard and shiny and is something different to use to paint.  

More Alphabet Party~

Here are our completed Capital and lowercase letter posters!  

Each student was supposed to bring in their favorite animal.  We also picked out some other animals so we would have enough for each letter!

Now that we are done with our alphabet wall...it's turning into our Math wall!
