Give Me a High Five!!!


That's right...I said it...Give Me a High Five!!!  In case you don't know...this is the coolest kind of high five there is!! :D  Today my Pre-Kids were having an absolute B.L.A.S.T. playing in shaving cream and food coloring while we were making bookmarks.  Whoever came up with it  is pure genius. 
 
And just in case you're wondering - I did give them a high five :D  Only once did shaving cream go flying...but it's all good. (;
 
 
For a bonus - I'd take a high five right now, lol.  These past couple of weeks have been so busy my head has been spinning non-stop....which might explain the exhaustion..hmm..I'm sure that doesn't happen to any other teachers though, right??



This is one task I had to complete this month - our main bulletin board.  It was my turn to fix it, and this is how it came out...the kids did such a good job on their angels and stars.
 
Oh Deer!!!!!!!!!

Oh Deer is right!!!  I must say that doing two bulletin boards, our classroom door, Christmas crafts, lessons, normal everyday things, Christmas party's for my little duck class and Sunday School, having to rearrange my room and change what feels like a gazillion things, and finishing my first semester of Grad School has been just a tad bit OVERWHELMING!  But I've had fun, and I'm pretty sure that my little duckies have too.  They laugh when Miss Jennifer gets crazy - they just laugh and tell me I'm funny, lol.
 
Despite all of the craziness, doing this bulletin board was way too much fun :D  Using Google search I found an awesome teacher who used something similar to this on her classroom door.  "Rudolph" has been a huge hit throughout the school.  I love it just because it's a cute & funny twist on the norm. 
 
The ducks have had fun doing this activity as well.  I had a canister of holiday cookie cutters which I traced on posterboard with a pencil and then a marker.  They go through the cookie cutters and find the matching picture. 

 
Finger Painting Christmasy things - talk about beautiful...

I'm sure a million teachers have thought of this before me, but I bought this ice tray to use with a water experiement with the ducks and I thought I'd try it with the finger paints - and it worked wonderful!! 

 
Just in case you don't know - "I don't cook" :D  And the reason I "don't" is because I'm terrible at it!!  I set things on fire - it's not pretty...............or.......at least that's the way it used to be.  But for whatever reason I've been cooking quite a bit more here lately, which has actually been kinda cool - and fun!  The pic above is for a recipe I found on Pinterest that's super easy - and it turned out pretty amazing tasting. 
 

 
Oh yea - and is this not the cutest little guy ever??? :D:D:D:D:D  I made these melted snowman cookies for my Sunday School kids and they were popular except for a couple who kinda stared at and poked them then told me they didn't want to eat them lol!!

 
More to come...
