Foot Long Ears

To prepare for Easter, we had funny kicking back, taking of our shoes...

And tickling our toes with paint!

Dinosaur Art

We put the ever popular play-doh to work to create our very own dinosaur sculptures.

Toothpicks add a nice touch...

But no dinosaur is complete without a splash of color!

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

We're going to the moon!

If you want to take a trip,

Climb aboard our rocket ship.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

We're going to the moon....

On The Open Road

Our theme to kick off the new year is Space/Transportation.  One of our activities was to make large road maps and use toys cars and other vehicles to drive around on our creations.  Here are some pictures of our hard work and fun drive, out on the open road.

It's a Jungle in Here!

For our Environment Theme Unit, we talked a lot about rainforest animals.  We decided to decorate our classroom to look like a tropical rainforest.

And in our rainforest, there are giant spiders, snakes, jaguars, butterflies, geckos and other wonderful, beautiful creatures, playing among the vines.

Isn't this world a wonderful place?

Halloween Fun

The eensy, weensy spider went up the haunted house,

He spied on the witch, but was startled by the mouse.

He fell through a ghost and landed on his web,

And up the haunted house no longer did he tread!

Welcome to our Halloween Theme Week in Raymond Kindergarten.  Here is a sneak peak at some of the spooky activities we enjoyed!  (Above are samples of our glittery handprint spider webs)

Some eery magic is at work as this center - some tracing paper, markers, and scary Halloween designs, and something exciting appears!

These little friends will fit in perfect with the trick-or-treaters!

Toenail of gecko, eyeball of squid, hair of a unicorn, and a werewolves tooth are just some of the secret ingredients in our Halloween dough!

And of course, nothing is sweeter at Halloween than candy!  Count for me - does the number of teeth in my mouth match my hat?

Happy Halloween!

Just a Bunch of Turkeys!

Why does a turkey say "gobble, gobble"?

Because they never learned good table manners!

Last week in kindergarten we made vegetable print turkeys to go along with our themes of Thanksgiving and Nutrition.  We used potatoes to make the turkey body...

And peppers to make the colorful tail feathers.  The result was finger licking good!

So, what vegetable should you eat at Thanksgiving dinner?

Beets me!
