Lincoln Plaza


These are last weeks projects. 




We also made our own playdough, which turned into awesome sparkly fun for many of our kids. This was a great project to do because the kids had a fun time making it, but at the same time they learned fractions and how to measure condiments.

Joke of the Day


Why can't a bicycle stand up by itself?


-        Because it's two-tired!




Hey, did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off??


-        He’s all right now!!




Hey, did you hear about the guy who got hit in the head with a can of soda???


-        He was lucky it was a soft drink!!!

Today the kids created a Valentine's Day card for a friend in their class.  WOW, what talent!!!


 

Cottonwood Creek


This week the children at Cottonwood Creek have been gearing up for Valentine's day! Some of them wanted to make teddy bears and put little messages on them, that way we could use them as decorations for the classroom.  We also made books with great art projects that the children had the opportunity to decide on.  They learned how to color and create a butterfly made out of hearts!

Today the kid's made it, "vegetables and fruit day"...everyone was told to bring their own fruits. They also had a vegetable coloring handout...it's important that our students learn early on the importance of eating healthy and incorporating fruits and veggies into their daily diet.  GO HEALTHY!!!

Lincoln Plaza


Here at Lincoln Plaza we are pretty much all set for Valentine's Day and super excited. All of my students had so much fun doing every craft...they all have an idea of what they would want to do as a card rather than buying them. This week our focus is the last card to make and moving onto new and exciting things.

This week I have decided to introduce Mardi Gras Masks, after all it is approaching and everyone can enjoy making masks. So I have brought in a few masks I have made throughout my lifetime and brought in one I used for a mascaraed ball and seemed to enjoy it. I warned them that this is a difficult and long process to make because of the drying time it will take.

All of my students are eager and very excited to take on this challenge. Of course, I did modify this mask a little because the original needs eyelash glue...as for the one's we will be making, we will use ribbon and velcro instead of eyelash glue. Yea Mardi Gras!!!
