Red Bird, Red Bird!

This week we wrapped up our beginning of the year thematic study of birds.  Starting next week, we begin our fall unit and start talking about all things fall!  I have several fun fall themed projects and activities planned for the students.  We are going to use our hand prints again to create pumpkins and bats for the bulletin board outside our classroom and make an art gallery in the hallway of a beautiful fall forest complete with finger print leaves.  These will be displayed just in time for our Grandparents/Special Guests Day.

Here is a look at our week!

Rectangle Song -(Tune to "The Farmer in the Dell)

A rectangle has four sides, a rectangle has four sides
Two are long, and two are short!
A rectangle has four sides!


Numbercise for 3

Hold hands together and make a three in the air as you say the rhyme.

Around the tree, around the tree,
That's the way to make a three!


The students made sponge paint red birds.  Earlier in the week, the students sponge painted the bird bodies.  Today and Monday, they will put the bird together.  Here are some from Friday's class.

We also got out the play-doh and floam!

This student made a "cocoon" with her floam!


We also enjoyed reading favorite books!
