Be Mine, Valentine!





Our centers this week were all about Valentines. In the math center the kids were working in a candy factory counting hearts to put in red tins. The class also opened up chocolate boxes and spelled words using valentine clues. Sorting candy hearts, doing a Valentine game on the Smartboard and working on our mailboxes were also on the menu.
Possibly the biggest hit was when the class made their "poof books." Each author had a chance to read their masterpiece in the Author's Chair!

Fabulous February




This week we traveled to China just in time for Chinese new year. The class used a balance, graphed food items, played dominoes, used chopsticks and wrote about Chinese food. On Friday we played a few Green Bay Packer games including an addition one using football counters.
