Another Snowy Day
This morning started off with the kids making their own breakfast. Tortillas pinched into snowflakes and fried with a light dusting of sugar. Later in the morning I was so happy to see Fernando working on the alphabet game we did yesterday . He filled in all the blanks to complete […]
Oh Snow, Where Art Thou ?
Now that all the snow has left our area we are starting a unit on ice and snow. I guess I can take solace in the fact that the kids do have more background experience on ice and snow than other classes I have had in the past. Today was a typical Monday in our […]

The weather has NOT cooperated this week in being a teaching aid for my winter unit. But THATS OK! I WILL TAKE IT! One of the activities we did today was exploring curved and straight lines . All letters are comprised of a straight line, a curved line or a combination of the two. […]
Snowmen everywhere !
Today the kids enjoyed the IPAD more. It is interesting to watch them try to navigate their way through all the programs and how they instinctively know what to do. There we also other activities on the table to keep them busy . […]
