Dinosaurs

\\\

Dinosaur week....we discussed that the word  dinosaur means "terrible lizard"  we talked about where they live, what they eat, the differences and how they are the same, and why they are all gone.


sponge painting a dinosaur then they will cut it out and add eyes.  But eventually they were sponge painting their hands.

Breken was being a big dinosaur in his buzz dress up costume.

I just ordered these dinosaur stamps out of discount school supply.

Yazmin is always found so quietly at the writing center and she is always practicing her cutting skills.  She now knows how to hold scissors the correct way and cut on lines.

So Evie is pushing her dinosaur stamp so hard, look at her face.  She is making ugh noises and concentrating. So funny!!

They all saw me sneaking a picture in I just quietly sat the camera on the table.

UPS delivered new stuff for us.

I think I was just as excited as the kids when the UPS guy rang the doorbell.  I couldn't open the box fast enough so I just let them bang on it for a quick minute.  I realized the box was to high on the table so I put it  on the floor, can u imagine crazy kids, trying to open the box, and snapping pics all at the same time. I wonder how I do this....PATIENCE!!!

Okay here we go I cut the box open.  It is really quiet right now.....

and now its loud and crazy....they are seeing toys, bubble wrap...OMGosh.....dinosaurs.....

music instruments

okay Allen had enough he joined Jay with this box...it turned into a slide.

No the control is gone, but who cares there is lots of laughter, excitement, and lots of "Miss Karris"

So some of the kids are still enjoying seeing what else is in the smaller boxes that were in the big box.  They found little houses for cars to go in for our block center. These are really neat.

 

okay we discovered the bubble wrap and the snaps it makes.  The room is toning down a little bit. Maggie and Breken are so focused.

Allen found a box just his size.  I really don't know how he fit, but he even shut the lid and was just cracking up laughing at himself.  Wow the box is free....haha....

He is still keeping busy with this box that is now ripped up from him falling over.

Another side ways pic that needs to be fixed.  Jay opened the sky scraper blocks and was immediately building a skyscraper. 

Red Yellow and Orange

Match each color in the right column.

This is their tow truck, they love doing this and take the other kids on rides.  We just tie the bikes together with a jump rope. But its not easy if one of the girls wants to drive, the boys seem to have stronger legs to pull another bike and passenger.

Beatrice was struggling so Miss Karri gave her pushes, you know Evie didn't wanna stop she was having a good time riding in the back.

Allen's sister Sydney was here in the summer.  After school had started I heard him calling her name, when I looked over he was having a conversation with her on the phone.  Would have been cute if we all heard what he was saying.

Michaels had a couple hard puzzles on clearance that I picked up.  Jay challenges himself almost everyday with this transportation one.  It was hard, but he is getting much better at it.

Circle time,,,where it gets really loud on ABC,s or counting, or even days of the week song.

Evie wanted to teach circle time after I finished.  So here she is singing her ABC's but pointing at the days of the week.  I loved listening to her sing.  Just shows they enjoy their circle time.

Allen was in a hugging mood, but only with Breken. But Breken enjoyed it, they walked around the room inseparable.

They girls were going around the room with the binoculars looking at different things.  They were all dressed up.

The Peanut Game.  Roll the dice whatever # you land on then fill your peanut bag with that # of peanuts.
