Cottonwood Creek


Hello everyone!  We've been fast at work doing lots of activities!  To begin with, last week when we celebrated the Labor Day holiday we colored and learned about why we celebrate the holiday.  The kids did a great job coloring and explaining why we should appreciate all members in our community.  After this I noticed that some of the kids have lots of trouble spelling and putting sentences together so I decided to put together some common words that they use and put them in a spelling list so the kids can practice.  The older kids wrote about their future career and got to do a little research on the career they are interested in.

This past week the kids were so excited because the fair was in town, naturally they were talking about the trip they were going take with the school.  So we got to color some pages depicting some things you would do at the fair.  The kids were sooooo pumped that today they wanted to share all about the weekend and what they did at the fair with their friends.  I took this chance to have them be creative and abstract and draw something they saw, did, or hear at the fair.  What they came up with was great because I didn't give them too much they couldn't draw so it was pure imagination that they put on paper.  Enjoy!!!
