Ff is for Frog....counting

Here is Connor and Olivias books this week.

I asked them to tell me about their pictures and I wrote what they said

frogs....around the room...

We made frog masks with frog tongues....They were licking up bugs left and right!

We cut them out, painted them, and blewwww.....We made these yesterday....Super cute little puppets....We got out the 'domino' blocks today. They are not regular dominos, they are building dominos. They used them for sorting, comparing, measuring, etc....Jence has made a pattern and is counting how many he has in a row....Anna and Quincy are just building a long wall....Connor is also building a pattern, with Bryans help....And Olivia is measuring, see below. Olivia started out with a long 'road'. She wanted to measure it so we got the tape measure out. It was 12". "I can make that longer" she said. "Then the number will be different"....."what do you think it will be?" I asked. "I don't know"

So she added blocks and measured again. "Wow...now it says 14" Olivia!" She got a big smile on her face and said, "I can make it bigger!" She added a couple more blocks and she ended up with 16". At that point she was done and moved on to something else. I love that she likes to measure everything. We have several tape measures in the room just for this sort of occasion. :)Thank you to the Olivias family for bringing BIG boxes!! We got one house built and a little painted, I am hoping to build some more next week. It will be the biggest development on our block!

Frog Week....

You won't see any messy activites today...I will save that for Wednesdays blog...but I just wanted to show you what we are doing around the room today.
Lilly Padds leading into the room....Blue and Yellow at the Easel....Kellys about to make green....Frog Puzzles...and Jence is counting frogs...."Annie...there are 8 red frogs!"The sensory bin has been transformed into a Pond with rocks, twigs, water, plants, and plastic frogs, worms, and other creatures...Of course....Quinns favorite place...Puzzles....A frog counting game. This is just like the workjobs I make....It shows a number and you are supposed to place the correct amount of frogs onto the pond. The frogs have different colors so they can sort them also.A big lilly pad mat. We were throwing beanbags onto it this morning...This is the song '5 little speckeled frogs sitting on a speckeled log (it's a real log) eating some most delicious bugs...YUM YUM....One jumped into the pool, where he was nice and cool, now there are 4 green speckeld frogs...GLUB GLUB." continue until you have no frogs.
They love this song and they can practice the song using this set."If your happy and you know it shout HURRAY!.......
