Valentine's Day:
The week of Valentine's Day was filled with some fun and exciting activities, as you will see below. While it was a little strange to not have our own classroom party for Valentine's Day, it was amazing to see every student go to their general ed classroom party. It was definitely one of my proudest moments so far this year! Peeking in on the parties and seeing each child interacting with their classmates and displaying their best behavior was so wonderful - I was so proud of each and every one of them!
 |
| Mrs. Frazee and Ms. Weston planned an activity where we delivered Valentines to classmates. |
 |
| During Literacy Centers we created a Valentine book focused on filling in the pronoun/sight word "I." |
 |
| Working on a Valentine Speech Center lead by Mrs. Frazee. |
 |
| During math, we sorted and counted colored Valentine Candy Hearts. |
 |
| Creating our Valentine Bags. |
 |
| We painted hearts to make Valentines for our classmates. |
 |
| Creating tactile hearts during a fun center on Valentine's Day. |

Reading:
 |
| Working on sight words and fine motor skills by dotting along each of our words with paint and a pencil eraser. |
 |
| Listening to books on www.raz-kids.com. |
Social Skills Group:
Ms. Weston planned a fun language and turn-taking project for our first group time since returning from the long break. She read a story about animals in the winter, and then we made bird feeders. The bird feeders are now hanging on the tree right outside our classroom window. We can't wait to see our first bird!
 |
| Feeling the bird seeds. |
Dr. Seuss Week:
Our first week back from break
we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday by working on some Dr. Seuss activities throughout the week. We read Dr. Seuss stories during our reading time (
The Cat in the Hat and
Hop on Pop were classroom favorites!), created a printable book which used repetitive text and color words "Lorax, Lorax, What do you see?", and created a Cat in the Hat art project. On Friday, we ended the week by listening to
Green Eggs and Ham and then made our own green eggs and ham. Everyone enjoyed cooking the eggs, but actually eating them had mixed reviews!
 |
| Waiting for the eggs to cook is tough! |
 |
| These three were NOT fans of green eggs and ham! |
 |
| But a few people thought they were delicious! |
Reminder: **There IS school on Friday, March 15th.**
This was originally a scheduled day off, but we will be making up a snow day on this day to avoid shortening our summer break.
