Anyhow, I am posting tons of picts. to make up from my online absence. Enjoy!
These first four are actually from March. Four of the Hatch's Hoppers had pieces featured in the art show at the public library. Congrats to A.B., P. L., A.P. and J. L.! I just loved seeing these on display!
Nice practice with ABC patterns
I just loved the pose and the facial expression here.
More BIG writing pieces
Egg Drop Day!
One of my favorite activities to do with the kids. It combines team work and problem solving. The best part is there is not one right answer. The kids get a few materials and have to design protection from the egg so it won't break when they drop it from the ladder onto the tar. The first 3-5 minutes is planning only. Then kid begin their creations.
The toughest part for this year's group was deciding who was dropping and who was spotting.
Once the decisions were made, we started the tests.
Good buddies!
One last photo op with Miss T. before she heads home for the summer!
What a great help she has been to our little learners!
Bunny Party and PJ Day
I loved this writing piece...I wanted the kids to practice the sight word said (a tricky one for a number of them). They were asked to come up with something that I said. It also let them experiment with using quotation marks.
I am always mentioning things that are good for their brains so I couldn't resist sharing this one.
Mrs. Hatch said, "Read at home because it is good for your brain."
So very true!
