A special reptile guest and the letter B

Science - The turtle, affectionately known as Arthur, came to visit today. He enjoyed swimming in the tub while we worked and played! Literacy - Today we learned the letter B --- B, bbbb, bear. We used our finger to write the letter on each other's bbback and we played bbbasketball! Math - We made pudding for snack and counted while each student took a turn at stirring. We are working on a fingerprint counting book and today we created 8 smiley faces! Finally, we made a "Favorite Pet" chart. Looks like cats won this vote. Social Studies and Art - We created our own pet shop! The students made store signs, pet collars, a pet house, and dog food with play dough. They had a blast taking turns at the cash register and purchasing pets and accessories!

One of our favorite songs is "Down by the Bay." We do a clapping pattern during the verse and they love the silly rhymes in between the verses.


The girls are making patterns and practicing lacing.


Pet Shop time!


"Where's my change?"


That poodle is enjoying the hand made dog food!
