Hello Sweet Owls~

We had a great week in the owl class. We scooped and poured cut up straws. We enjoyed the puzzles on the table. My sweet owls are so good at this. We are working on a secret project. We also water painted. We loved this. We made some beautiful pictures. We made hand print flowers. I let them make hand prints all over a paper. They loved this. This activity was definitely about the process of art and experimenting with medium. We sang songs from our song book and practiced taking turns.

We played with Ms. Betty. We love the Hula hoops.

In chapel we walked on a path and talk about how God is with us were ever we go. As we walked we danced to Walking with Jesus. We really enjoyed this. It is so fun to move our bodies.

We also enjoyed outside where we played with shaving cream and colored butterflies.

We had a great week at school.

I did not take many pictures this week but check them out.

With love

Good Morning Sweet Owls~

I hope you all had a great spring break. We are getting back into the swing of things.

We had a fun week in the owl room before the break. We played with the boat in the water table again. We painted a bus yellow and sang the wheels on the bus. We used a spray bottle to spray the easel like rain and used a squeegee to clean it. Just like the wipers on the bus. As we sang the wheels on the bus we choose which verse to sing using cards. This is great for language and turn taking.

We played with Ms. Betty in motor movement. We had fun jumping in and out of the hoops and playing with the balls.

In chapel we read the story of Moses leading the people with the fire and clouds. We also walked through the river that parted to keep the people safe.

What a fun week we had a ELP.

This week we will be talking about zoo animals.

Check out the new pictures.

With love,

Good Morning Owls~

We had a great time the last two weeks in the Owl room. Last week was Rodeo week. We rode horses in our room and played with horses in the ball pit. It was fun to make them ride around the ball pit. We played in the water with horses and cowboys. We also had turkey basters that were fun to squirt. We painted with a potato masher like a cowboy branding a horse. Outside we filled boot cups with corn kernels. YEE HA!!

In Chapel we feed the pig like the Prodigal Son.

This week in the Owl room we talked about things that go and enjoyed our road rally. We had so much fun going around the parking lot. In our classroom we played with the boats in our water table, this was a favorite. I will have it again next week. We made a blue car collage with fun stickers. As we peel the the stickers and manipulate the stickers it is great fine motor activity. We also talk about the colors, size and item. Great language. We also painted with cars. We roll the cars and the wheels paint. FUN!! Outside we painted cars and there was a lot of water to play with.

I have both weeks pictures on the snap fish. Enjoy.

Next week is a normal week. We will be talking about things that go again.

Have a great weekend~

With Love

Hello Sweet Owls~

We had a wonderful week in the owl room. We played in the instant snow again and sorted ducks and snowmen. Wow I am impressed with my sweet owls. We painted with shaving cream and made snowflake stamps. We also worked on two secrete projects. We read How the build a snowman and made a snowman. We made the face and including a carrot nose. Then my sweet owls made their own snowman. We went to motormovement with Ms. Betty and enjoyed playing with the balls. In chapel we climbed in the belly of a whale just like Jonah. We enjoyed another great week.

Remember No school next week.

Conferences are next week.

With Love~

Happy Snow Day!!

We had a wonderful week in the Owl class. The Snow was so fun to explore. We played in the instant snow in the discovery table, we enjoyed making snow soup. At the easel we made stamps. We had to work really hard to steady the marker so it would make a print. It was fun to see the look on their face when they made it work. Our most favorite activity was the treasures frozen in the ice block. It was interesting to see the ice melt and the treasures became free. We also painted hot chocolate with ice cubes. I think it was way more fun to lick the chocolate off the ice cube then paint with it. Outside we played in shaving cream and painted with potato mashers to make snowflakes.

My friends LOVED the snow. The sled was fun but a bit overwhelming for some. Despite the rain we still had fun.

I look forward to next week- we will explore snow one more week.

February is a busy month. Here is the overview, but I will remind you as the weeks come up.

February 1,2,3 NO school!! February 1st Conferences

Hello Owls~

I missed my sweet Tuesday and Wednesday Owls. I think we are all better now. I have a few pictures of my Thursday class. Please enjoy.

Next week it will be snowing at ELP. YEAH!!!! Please remember to bring gloves and a warm coat. It is always helpful to bring extra clothes including socks. If any of my friends want to ride the sled they might get wet. As always you are welcome.

We will also be exploring ice and snow in the classroom.

Please let me know what time works for your conference.

With Love,

Happy New Year!!

We had a wonderful week in the Owl class. Everyone seemed happy to come back to school. I got lots of sweet hugs and even a few kisses. Thank you so much for sharing your sweet babies with me.

We had fun just getting reacquainted with the class and our friends. My Owls seemed to have really grown up over the last two weeks. We celebrated with our Epiphany celebration. In chapel we followed stars to the manager just as the wise men did. Under the star we found the greatest gift- Jesus. We also put stickers on a candle and ate a cinnamon bread star that we made. Yummy, Yummy.

In our classroom we painted a star gold and we took a walk through the school hunting for stars. We saw big stars, little stars and stars of many colors. We sang "Twinkle Star". We like to sing it in a tiny voice. We had snowmen and winter ducks in our discovery table along with beans, we practiced sorting ducks and snowmen. I am so impressed with my smart friends. We read books about snowmen and of course we read Brown Bear an all time favorite. I sing it in a song when I read it.

We enjoyed playing outside. Mrs. Pat had yellow or blue paint mixed with shaving cream. We rolled stars on paper.

I look forward to next week- we will be talking about snowmen.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Love,

Ms.Tracee
