Dr. Seuss and Wall of LOVE

This week was Wolfelicious week!!  We learned a lot and had a lot of fun doing it.  

 For Valentine's, I made a Wall of LOVE.  Each day we had school in February up to Valentine's Day I wrote something I LOVE about my class.  I numbered the hearts with what day I taped it to my board.  Everyday when the kiddos would walk in they would look to see what I LOVED about them.  They were sad when I took the hearts off the board once Valentine's Day was over.

We are now learning the double phonograms and it is getting super confusing.  I try to practice with my students as often as we can so they understand the phonograms.  I usually use magnetic boards to have them write the phonogram on.  This week I decided to use their Handwriting Practice Notebook and trace the phonogram when I said the sound.  The students seemed to enjoy it.  It is always good to mix things up to keep the students interested.

Today we had Dr. Seuss day.  For this day we switch with all the kindergarten classes.  We have each class for 20 minutes.  We read a story (watch a movie about a story) and have a snack.  I alway to The Sneetches.

I had two great parents make 140 star cookies with green frosting.

Then I had my students complete a writing about the Sneetches.  Do you think the Sneetches stayed nice to each other?  Their answers varied.  I love reading what their thinking was.  The sure are Smart Cookies!

A few weeks ago I held my first Jamberry party.  (If you don't know about Jamberry you can go here, here, or wait until Sunday to find out more!).  I can't believe I was able to get so much for hosting a party.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Wolfelicious day!

A Wolfelicious Valentine's.

Hi!!  Another week down in Mrs. Wolfe's classroom.  This week was an exciting week because we celebrated Valentine's Day.  Our Science/Social Studies time was filled with wonderful Valentine's Day crafts.  The students LOVEd the crafts.  Here are some of the things we did.

We made the iHeart Man.  The students thought it was so cool because the heart looks like a muscle man.

Next, we made a fine motor project of gluing little pieces of paint swatches to a heart.

I LOVE how those turned out.  The students thought they were so cool too!

Next we made an Owl.
(Thanks Rachel for the project)

The students loved how their hands were the owl's wings.  I think they will owl love this project. (hehe)

Last we made a cupcake. Apparently, with the Valentine's Day commotion, I forgot to get a picture of the cupcake.

I made Valentine's for my students.  I made them a little baggie with a glittery pencil, a heart shaped eraser, a ring eraser (they are fascinated with erasers), and a mustache.  After I gave the students their baggie.  I had them put on their mustaches.  Then I put together this bigger picture.  I will also use their mustache picture for their scrapbook.

Another picture I took this week was also for their scrapbooks.

These turned out SO well!  Here is one of my kiddos.

Valentine's Day is now a super busy day for me.  My little one just turned one on Valentine's Day.

 Happy Birthday Chalan!

 He is my little sweetheart. Well, one of my sweethearts!

I hope you had a Wolfelicious week!  Thanks for stopping by!

Magnets, New Items, Groundhog Day, and Subway Art

This week my class learned about magnets.  My students just loved learning about them.  Their faces lit up when they got to explore with them.  I love knowing they love what we are doing.

We learned about what magnets stick to and the different shapes magnets come in.  The pictures below are the students explore what exactly a magnet attracts to and what it repels.  They are working as a table to sort the items to magnetic and not magnetic.

Then the next day the students had to do their own sort.

Aren't they adorable?!!

Then, we also learned about Groundhog Day.  We made these adorable hats to wear and did a writing about if we thought the groundhog would see his shadow.  I forgot to take a picture of their writing, but you can see it here from last year.  (It is a freebie so make sure you check it out).  On Monday, I plan on having the students finish up their writing.

One of my fellow team members had her baby on the 31st!  I am so excited for her.  She had an adorable little girl.  I have seen the Subway Art floating around on Pinterest and just knew I needed to make one for her.  Her nursery is pink and gray so I made it in those colors.  I am so excited to give it to her.  I hope she likes it.  I like them so much that I had to make them for me too.  Here is the one for my son that I made.

I made it an 11 by 14.  Now I just need to get two frames.  I have started the next baby's with the name and some of the information.  Once I have him all I have to do is enter the information and send it to Walgreens to print.  Easy peasy wall art that looks awesome.  Once I get both of them up I will take a picture so you can see how they turned out.  

I hope you had a good week.
