A Peek in my Planbook

Just a quick fun thing we started doing for counting practice! They all stand by their desks, when I stamp my foot they start counting by 10s, then I clap & they switch to counting by 5s, snap my fingers switch to 1s, hold up my hand-STOP!! They love it! Doing a couple times during math meeting usually now!

It's been a busy week even if it was only a 4 day week!I haven't blogged for a few weeks so this will be a few highlights from the last few weeks! It's fall & I just feel like doing fall stuff!

For composition before Thanksgiving we made this Thankful tree. We did handprints with fall colored construction paper. I let them totally do their own hands-draw & cut out- so we have some very interesting pointy fingers but it's their own work. I love how it turned out! I have it up on a door in my room.

In Science, we've been studying "The Animal World". Beavers were one animal we studied so when Dad told me we had a beaver lodge in the dugout I knew we would be taking a little field trip. So one cool fall afternoon we headed out there with Dad & Mom. Dad even let them stand ontop of the lodge & told them more then the Science had taught them! Afterwards they got to pet the horse & then in for fresh cookies & chocolate milk before we headed back to school. They loved it! And I love when they can learn from seeing hands on...

A fun fall craft we did was make pumpkins from toiletpaper rolls! We did them like this except I didn't use leaves and for stems we jus twisted a brown paper bag! They had fun & they helped with measuring & cutting their own fabric!

ok that all for highlights right now! What are all your fall ideas?!

Fun Art!

Yesterday was again Friday & I had to come up with an art project for them...So here it's 9p.m. Thursday eve & anything I find that I want to do I don't have the supplies!! So I send out a message to my friend & family that I need help!! And thanks to my sisters ideas combined with mine I was soon making colored rice. I did it in fall colors & we glued it on pictures of turkeys. They loved it & I was really pleased how they turned out!!
