 During week #28, the 4s class practiced recognizing numbers with this "berry" fun plate game.  As I called out numbers 0-10, the students would find them on their plate and cover them with a pom pom (berry).
 Our letter of the week was Ss and we colored and cut out these snakes.

 Week #27 was another short week due to interesting weather. Our letter was Rr and we read "The Rainbow Fish" on Monday and then created our own rainbow fish with bubble wrap and paint. They turned out so pretty.
 We also learned the colors of a rainbow and practiced putting them in order on a rainbow necklace on Wednesday.
 On Friday we turned the letter R into a rabbit by cutting out ears, feet, a tail, and a face and then gluing them onto the R for the finished product. Not only did we get some cutting practice in, we had fun doing it!

 In the big room, we practiced hopping through hula hoops that were in rainbow order.  Hopping was hard for some of us, but by the end of our practice, we were doing a pretty good job of keeping our feet together.
 We did a fun art project during week #26, based on Piet Mondrian's famous square paintings. After I taped off each paper, the students painted inside each square with a different color.  Then I peeled off the tape and here are some of our amazing creations!
 We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday this week by reading "The Cat in the Hat," "There's a Wocket in My Pocket," and "Green Eggs and Ham." Then each child wrote the letters of their name on white strips and glued them onto red hats for some name practice fun.

 Week #24 was a short week due to conferences but we did work on the letter Qq while talking about Queen Esther. We decorated crowns in the 3s class.
 During week #25, we read "The Snowy Day" in the 4s classes and played in some "snow" inside because there wasn't any outside.
 We also worked on sequencing the story after we had read it.
 These paper towel tubes and straws were fun to build with.
 We also read "Artic Winter, Artic Summer" and compared the differences between seasons here and seasons in the artic.  These melted snowmen turned out very cute. We finished our week with scissor practice and identifying shapes.
