President's Day

NOTE TO SELF: Work on the quality of pictures for next year.
Okay good, glad I got that outta the way!

Here are some fun ideas for President's Day.
 
 Bulletin Board: Because it is SO SOON after Valentine's Day, you'll notice the boarder is the same- YES!

     
As part of our America Unit, we made a book about the symbols of America.
   

God Bless America & God Bless YOU! :)




Valentine's Quilt

Fun Valentines Day Ideas: 
Am I late on posting these ideas or early? You decide. ;)
Regardless, I hope they inspire you in some way! 

This lovely bulletin board proclaims "My heart belongs to Jesus" and then the students are pictured with a heart-quote bubble stating who they love and why. And yes, the kids got to splatter-paint!

   
I will admit, I stole this from pinterest- the only difference was that it was a 'Kindness Quilt' and I made it a LOVE Quilt. We discussed that love is a verb, so it is an action. So each little sweetie (my students) told me who they loved and how they should that person love. They signed the statement with a hand print (acceptable for 3 year olds!) and helped decorate the boarders. 

Love & Blessings!!!

Classroom Projects: Fall and Fairy Tales

 Fall and Fairy Tales

As we are quickly approaching the new school year (yeah!!), I thought I should get on the ball and post these pictures from LAST Fall. We were learning about the season of Fall and Fairy Tales (which ended appropriately around Halloween, and allowed for an extra dress-up day!).

 
Hopefully, this year I can make a more 3D tree! But I do love this one, and with help from the students we water colored fall leaves. 




It's hard to tell in this picture, but the little sweeties are looking at themselves in a mirror. The title says: Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall- What's your Favorite Thing of All? And under each picture is a list of the student's favorite thing. 

 
And ta-da!!! This was our first bulletin board! Students helped to create their prince or princess and finished the decree "That ____________ makes Prince Jackson happy". 

I truly am looking forward to building on these units this year!

Blessings!!
