Centers
Each week, we break up into centers where the kids can practice letter recognition and sounds, reading short words, and fine motor skills.
Under the Sea
We made crabs to keep on the fridge . We used clothespins for the pinchers where the kids can display their artwork. They turned out so cute. 
We had so much fun making our ocean in a bottle. We gathered sand from the backyard, added seashells, and then poured in water with blue food coloring. Our water turned out a little blue, but the kids still had fun making them.
For one of our acitvities, we read a story about a rainbow fish and then made our own rainbow fish. Everyone did such a great job!

Christmas Trees
We made Christmas trees using sugar cones, frosting, and candy. The kids loved this activity.
Our Gingerbread House
As a class, we made a gingerbread house. The kids had so much fun putting it together and decorating it. Here are a few pictures of our house in the making.

Thanksgiving
We had our Thanksgiving Unit the week before Thanksgiving. For one of our crafts we made Turkey centerpieces. They turned out so cute. All of the kids did such a great job on their turkeys.
We learned about the Pilgrims and Indians and made costumes. We then had our Thanksgiving feast with yummy sweet potatoes, turkey, fruit, and pumkin pie.

Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!
During our bug unit, we learned all about different types of bugs and their characteristics. We
even went on a bug hunt to try to find bugs in our own backyard. Each of the kids had their own bug catchers.
The hunt was on! We looked under bushes and trees to find any kind of bug.
Our hunt was looking unsuccessful, so we decided to hide some plastic bugs for them to find.
We were sad that no real bugs were found, but satisfied with the plastic ones. It was a pretty fun day.
