A Short Magical Week

What a magical (short) week in 4K. We talked about the story ‘Abiyoyo’ this week. On Tuesday we made our own magic wands. We had to use our strong finger muscles to bead for this project. On Wednesday we made a magic rabbit hat, has your child pulled out the magic rabbit for you? Thursday we talked about magic beans in the story ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and made our own beanstalks with a picture of ourselves.

If you thought about getting teacher gifts this year, please consider purchasing an item from our classroom wish list instead. Below is a picture with a few items on our classroom wish list.

Have a great weekend!

Pajama Day Fun!

What a fun way to finish up our Goldilocks and the Three Bears Unit.  We had a pajama day, with stuffed animal friends.  First we made a beaded bracelet/collar for ourselves or our stuffed friend.  We worked really hard to string them and make a 3 part pattern.  Then we went under the tables or as we called them, our "Bear Caves" to color pictures under the tops of the tables.  This was really difficult, we had to use new muscles to do this work.  What a fun day!

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Beary fun week!  We made large jointed bears that the legs even move on, and they are decorating our classroom.  We had more tummy time work, this is hard to hold my head and neck up, while laying down.  But man this builds core strength.  Lots of fun was had retelling the stories of Goldilocks.  We also worked on sizing our bears into large, medium and small categories. 

A Halloween Week

This week we talked about being brave like the "Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything". You can find this book on Amazon, it was a big hit with the kids.
We had so much fun at our Halloween Party with all of our friends. Check out the pictures below.
