pizza time!

one pizza cut in 8 pieces is still one pizza. two halves make one whole. if a pizza is cut into four pieces, each piece is a forth. these are the concepts we explored last week. the pizzas we painted had a day to dry and were ready to cut. i drew lines on the back and the kids could decide how many pieces they wanted. then the pieces were arranged and glued to take home...

our trip to puppetworks...

to prepare for our trip to puppetworks we read the snow queen and afterwards the girls painted pictures from the story...

we turned our art table into an ice palace!

the kids found a way to squeeze inside and have a picnic...

winter olympics!

our olympic flags...

we made up our own winter olympic games.

we had different obstacle courses and races. what i loved the best was hearing the kids happily shout out "it's a tie!". 

the aftermath of playing outside on a snowy day...

playing olympic bingo with fruit loops...

look at these paintings! it's always so inspiring to watch the kids paint. so expressive and fearless! if you look close you can watch the evolution of coco's painting... 

president's week...

for president's week we focused on george washington, abe lincoln and president obama. i told the tale of washington and the cherry tree and afterwards talked about the importance of always telling the truth, even when it's scary or difficult.
