Plants unit

When do you usually begin a unit on Plants?  Nearer to Mother's Day?  Now, so that you can plant a seed and it will be a nice flower by Mother's Day?  How early do you start your unit?

Positional Words

I really like the way my new SMARTboard lesson came out today!  It is for Positional Words.  I'll be trying it with my PreK class, although I know it's more for Kinder and up.  I think they'll enjoy the themes to the lesson.  I made it with three different themes: Monsters, Spring/Summer, and Outer Space.  Hopefully, a little something to delight the taste of most kids.  If you think this is something worth sharing, I'd love for you to use my PIN button and pin it for me!  My Pinterest page only works for me about 30% of the time!!  It is so frustrating!  Jo

   

   

I promised more SPRING bulletin board pics...

and here they are!! I'm going to show you the "before" on the playground pics and the "after" on the wall pics!

 This is sweetie 1 and sweetie 2.  They are the 'kite holder' and 'hanging from the tree' girls.

 

These girls are playing the hand clapping game.  You'll find them sitting in the grass in the bulletin board.

Spring Bulletin Board

This has GOT to be my favorite bulletin board I've ever made! It is solely PreK kid based using their pictures and adding them to a scene. In this picture, the girl is flying a kite. I have other pictures of hanging from trees, swinging on a swing from a branch, playing the playground cars, etc. Each day that I add something new, I walk the kids past the board. They ooo and ahhh when they find themselves! Other teachers too are eagerly awaiting what will be added to the large mural.

The scene is a large area of grass with trees and a big blue sky!
