Valentine's Day Celebration - M/W Class

Reagan and Ethan decorating their Valentine card holders.

Deeelicious! Patrick, Reagan, and Ethan enjoy their creations.



Trenton and Tyler - "Give me a big bite!"

Feeding Arizona's "snowbirds!"

To our delight, many birds flocked to our classroom bird feeder this winter. Look closely to see the little birds lining the back wall.
Patrick and Ethan enjoyed spying each other as much as trying to spy birds!



Tyler, Ethan, and Reagan using their homemade binoculars to spot winter fowl . . .or perhaps it was a passing airplane. ;)



Trenton, Ethan, and Reagan(photo below), hoping to entice birds, spread seeds around the preschool yard.












Writing in Snow - T/Th Class

Well, our snow smells more like shaving cream. :) Below students draw circles and snowmen. However, getting messy was probably the best part!













Writing in Snow - M/W Class

This kind of "snow" is great for drawing, it isn't cold, and it doesn't melt!

Snow in Gilbert? M/W Class

Using shaved ice from our snow cone machine, the M/W boys and Debbie have fun making snowballs and throwing them at the teacher! Brrrr!!















Snowball Target Practice - T/Th Class

Snowballs made of shaved ice provide a frosty experience for the T/Th kids as they try to shape the balls and launch them -- at me!










Snow in Gilbert? T/Th Class

Oh, yes! The best kind of snow, too. It comes in small quantities and it melts fast!















New Play Set for Preschool

A Christmas toy for my boys doubles as a fun preschool play set. I suppose it is as much a present for me as it is for the kids! :)
