I can remember when I was a kid loving the bible stories my Sunday school teacher would tell with the flannel board. It was so much fun retelling those stories on our own when it was our turn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past year I brought the flannel board back in my classroom!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made some fairytale flannel board sets and the kids LOVED them! I simply took one of my bulletin boards and covered it with fabric. After printing and laminating the pieces to each set, I glued a piece of felt on the backs. The language, expressions in their retell, and vocabulary were awesome to watch and listen to. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just finished getting those flannel board sets ready to share with everyone. Take a look below and click on the picture to get yours at my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/3-Fairytales-Flannel-Board-Pack-1975570" target="_blank">TpT store</a>. </div>

I am so excited to introduce my first ever, GUEST BLOGGER!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sara and I have worked together for the past two years. She is phenomenal and has the biggest heart for pre-k kids! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--R-FL-qcw1k/VL2wpDIjDFI/AAAAAAAABP4/VfXbmgNDVwU/s1600/Slide1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--R-FL-qcw1k/VL2wpDIjDFI/AAAAAAAABP4/VfXbmgNDVwU/s1600/Slide1.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so grateful to be Paula's FIRST GUEST BLOGGER!! I have been teaching Preschoolers for 3 years and having been loving every minute. I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist who serves early childhood special education classrooms as well as articulation and language kiddos. I'm so excited to be here at Learn + Play = Pre K to share whats going on in my speech world and learn more from the blogging community. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you wanna build an igloo??? Sang Ana!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just kidding, but doesn't everyone just love the Frozen song!! Paula always has these awesome, I mean, awesome boxes she uses in her class for her space unit for her space rockets. I usually take her hand-me-down boxes when she is finished and I turn it into a speech cave, but this year I wanted to build an igloo! We have a generous factory that donates their insanely large boxes to us when asked, so with the help of a sweet parent and their truck he picked one box and two lids up for me and I started the building process. It took two of us to set it up and fit it together, thanks Paula!! Then I put a white kings size sheet over it (found one at Ann's Linens where they sell bedding separately so it was pretty cheap, $15). Covered the box with the sheet, cut out our igloo door, hot glued the sheet around the door and viola I now have an igloo in my speech corner that I'm certain Ana, Elsa, and Olaf would love!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UM4Px7yc5gs/VL2wpZXJ31I/AAAAAAAABP8/MBaDMSvw7X0/s1600/Slide2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UM4Px7yc5gs/VL2wpZXJ31I/AAAAAAAABP8/MBaDMSvw7X0/s1600/Slide2.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n9ZvQbYVjxQ/VL2wpkbpBiI/AAAAAAAABQA/am0MAgeDdHg/s1600/Slide3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n9ZvQbYVjxQ/VL2wpkbpBiI/AAAAAAAABQA/am0MAgeDdHg/s1600/Slide3.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my hopes for this igloo are:<br />
1. Learn some new winter vocab,<br />
2. Play flashlight vocab and speech sound hide and seek,<br />
3. Build an Olaf inside,<br />
4. Have fun inside a box!!<br />
It's only been the first day but we were able to have some fun and learning inside of our igloo. </div>

I LOVE Pinterest! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this Santa bulletin board and these adorable reindeer ideas! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Couldn't decide which one to do so I did them both.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too cute!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To finish it off, I asked each student if they had been "Naughty or Nice" this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, they had to tell me how. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I laminated them so their families can enjoy them for years to come!</div>

First of all, let me say how good it is to sit down and blog. Life has been so busy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had our first snow about a week ago. It happened over a weekend so I didn't get to bring any in for the kids to play with. I thought it would be fun to see them make snowmen with pay dough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to admit, I am a one color at a time kinda girl! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mixing the play dough colors drives me CRAZY! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I modeled how to carefully build a snowman and then take it apart without mixing the colors. I was blown away by their creativity. Check these adorable snowmen and snowgirls out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to get fresh play dough after this one, but the story that was being told as she built her snowgirl a beautiful dress was priceless!</div>

Wow, this has been an amazing summer! My summers are usually pretty quiet....but not this year!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I visited my sister in Ireland for <u><b>3 WEEKS</b></u>! Had an amazing time with my nieces and nephew. (Got a sister tattoo!!) Came home, spent one night at my house before leaving for the lake with my boys and husband for a week. (They are all taller than me now but still my little boys!). Came home, spent one night at my house before leaving again for a week long youth camp with my church! </div>

Do you send out a welcome letter and school supply list to your new students before school starts? </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do and thought that would be a good place to start blogging again for the upcoming school year. My letter always includes a little about myself and my family, an invitation to a preschool orientation night, and a request for a family photo. This is something I started doing a few years ago and love it! I ask the parents to bring a framed family photo to school the night of orientation or open house. They help their child choose the perfect spot in our classroom for their photo. The purpose for this is to create a feeling of community in the classroom. I have seen my students showing off their photo to their new friends, pick it up to give mom and dad a kiss, or just carry it around with them sometimes. The photos are conversation starters among parents during class parties as well. A great way to help people connect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This picture is from last year. You can see a few of the pictures around the room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My school supply list is a little different each year. I take an inventory at the end of the year to see what we will need for the upcoming year. Last year I added a WISHLIST to my supply list. I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner! I had a great response from the parents. I'm sure you are like me and every other teacher out there. We spend a small fortune of our own money in our classrooms. The extra supplies were very welcome and the parents enjoyed sharing.</div>

I love ocean week! It is different every year and I always learn something new myself! I begin by reading a few ocean books to the kids and then ask them which animals they would like to learn about. I write down each student's answer on a poster and we get started. Each day we take 1-2 of the animals on the list to learn about. As we learn about each animal we actually make that animal and add it to the class bulletin board. The student's share what they have learned and we write their answers on bubbles to add to the board. Here is the finished bulletin board. </div>

I can't bring the ocean into the classroom or take the students to the beach. What's the next best thing? Goldfish in the sensory table! I didn't get a very good picture this year of the fish. The kids absolutely love watching them for a few days!</div>

We ended our two week ocean unit with a beach party! The students brought their swim suits, beach towels and sunglasses for our "indoor" beach party. After watching some videos of kids surfing and listening to some Beach Boy's music we were ready to make our own surf boards. </div>

This is one of our favorite weeks! Check out some of the fun we had!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids LOVED learning how to fly....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i36pq4MvoRU/Uxp1n_mupsI/AAAAAAAABFw/w3GN4Gki2SU/s1600/Slide1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i36pq4MvoRU/Uxp1n_mupsI/AAAAAAAABFw/w3GN4Gki2SU/s1600/Slide1.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each child brought an old t-shirt from home that we used to make capes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were welcome to dress up as superheroes all week if they wanted. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some little boys that were more than happy to wear their Halloween costumes again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7dqHwkvTCCY/Uxp2dowe2jI/AAAAAAAABGg/UZSp2_E8ob0/s1600/Slide2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7dqHwkvTCCY/Uxp2dowe2jI/AAAAAAAABGg/UZSp2_E8ob0/s1600/Slide2.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We discussed the character traits of superheroes and ways we could have those same traits everyday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qY9YVN2t-RE/Uxp2f-4mYOI/AAAAAAAABGo/GoU6nf-MFRU/s1600/Slide3.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qY9YVN2t-RE/Uxp2f-4mYOI/AAAAAAAABGo/GoU6nf-MFRU/s1600/Slide3.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We also learned about some superhero's weaknesses. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were very careful not to touch the "kryptonite" as we had races to fill our buckets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zc2yrFROICU/Uxp23DoeM7I/AAAAAAAABG4/ODbOR3j2Wp0/s1600/Slide5.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zc2yrFROICU/Uxp23DoeM7I/AAAAAAAABG4/ODbOR3j2Wp0/s1600/Slide5.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We used our wrist shields to protect ourselves from the Bubbles of Doom! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-une1fhscYyQ/Uxp26HbM6bI/AAAAAAAABHA/KQnOiROYXUc/s1600/Slide6.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-une1fhscYyQ/Uxp26HbM6bI/AAAAAAAABHA/KQnOiROYXUc/s1600/Slide6.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our superhero boots came in helpful too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xDNfPP26Uo4/Uxp2-jcczgI/AAAAAAAABHI/ADlmclzAMwc/s1600/Slide7.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xDNfPP26Uo4/Uxp2-jcczgI/AAAAAAAABHI/ADlmclzAMwc/s1600/Slide7.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who says Venn Diagrams are only for big kids! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found things that were the same and different between Superman and Spiderman.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IC_IpgYrQWo/Uxp3JBrLBdI/AAAAAAAABHQ/O-LvVbk4i1E/s1600/Slide8.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IC_IpgYrQWo/Uxp3JBrLBdI/AAAAAAAABHQ/O-LvVbk4i1E/s1600/Slide8.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We learned about the "super power" of static electricity. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rub a balloon on the carpet then hold it just above a plate of salt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The salt jumps up and clings onto the balloon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-57SxCouHw1s/Uxp3MUJ8ylI/AAAAAAAABHY/-pIKp2y79dg/s1600/Slide9.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-57SxCouHw1s/Uxp3MUJ8ylI/AAAAAAAABHY/-pIKp2y79dg/s1600/Slide9.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some were curious what else they could get the balloon to stick to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HcDfEC0i3KU/Uxp1oHc6jAI/AAAAAAAABF0/XGnYSLcqiOg/s1600/Slide10.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HcDfEC0i3KU/Uxp1oHc6jAI/AAAAAAAABF0/XGnYSLcqiOg/s1600/Slide10.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Then they found the air vent! Amazing fun!</span></div>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FSfSBkyHHSs/Uxp1oiMT39I/AAAAAAAABF4/lOVjvBukqMg/s1600/Slide11.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FSfSBkyHHSs/Uxp1oiMT39I/AAAAAAAABF4/lOVjvBukqMg/s1600/Slide11.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Magnets were another fun "super power" to explore.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">During centers a couple of weeks ago, one little guy went over to the yarn and started quietly stringing it under, over and around everything in sight. Instead of jumping in to make him stop I sat back and watched for a few minutes. He stayed focused on his work as the other children played around him. I finally asked him what he was working on. He looked up at me with a smile and replied, "I'm making booby traps!" He wasn't trying to catch anything or harm anyone. Just simply making booby traps for fun. This went on for a few days and soon half of the class had joined him! I couldn't bring myself to stop them. It was so much fun to watch the creativity, teamwork and problem solving unfold. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I decided to join them!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> One morning when they arrived they found a note on our door warning them that our classroom had been booby trapped. Enter at your own risk!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OK-NyuFSAV8/Uvke-39NdiI/AAAAAAAABEk/UyIEvPjbspo/s1600/Slide1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OK-NyuFSAV8/Uvke-39NdiI/AAAAAAAABEk/UyIEvPjbspo/s1600/Slide1.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They had so much fun passing their coats and backpacks to friends on the other side so they could belly crawl into the classroom. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(This was high enough for them to have to go under but low enough for me to step over!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I also had a "Laser" maze set up over our rug. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was a fun way to reteach positional words.</span></div>

Each day this month we are reading a different fairy tale or folk tale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier this week we read "Mirette on the High Wire" by Emily Arnold McCully. My students loved learning about Paris, hearing some French, and learning about the art of walking on a high wire. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We pulled out the balance beam and tried walking it ourselves!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lw8dNXEuCrw/Uti5GLtzd1I/AAAAAAAABDk/_--DiRMeFSg/s1600/Slide1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lw8dNXEuCrw/Uti5GLtzd1I/AAAAAAAABDk/_--DiRMeFSg/s1600/Slide1.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next we made balance birds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Super easy to do, cut bird pattern (old file folders work great) then attach a paperclip to each wing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We discovered we could balance them on our fingers and even our noses!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TGUhZkI2ZhQ/Uti5EBJyyPI/AAAAAAAABDY/oIaAxj8RVoo/s1600/Slide2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TGUhZkI2ZhQ/Uti5EBJyyPI/AAAAAAAABDY/oIaAxj8RVoo/s1600/Slide2.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What else could we balance them on?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1NsRDoGf4AM/Uti5Fs_nwEI/AAAAAAAABDg/x4h0Hix4aZU/s1600/Slide3.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1NsRDoGf4AM/Uti5Fs_nwEI/AAAAAAAABDg/x4h0Hix4aZU/s1600/Slide3.PNG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great way to incorporate social studies, gross motor and science into story time! </div>

With the cold weather and indoor recess welcoming us back to school, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was thinking of something fun I could add to my classroom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sensory bottles!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I collected different sized bottles for variety. Some are liquid, dry, noisy, bright, or just cool! These are a great addition for my science area. I can't wait until my students get back from Christmas break!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tip: I hot glued the lids on, just in case.</div>

The kids were so excited that we brought them inside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This little one decided to teach them to count with some flash cards.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The rain finally stopped and we had a sunny ending to our week. We took the scarecrows, which now have names "Scarecrow and Cha-nae-nae", outside to enjoy the day. We decided to take some corn from the sensory table out to share with the crows.</div>

This led to an unexpected science experiment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> "Are crows really scared of scarecrows?"</b></div>

Cookie Monsters!</div>

Next, we sorted the cookies by shape onto a cookie sheet.</div>

We made pumpkin soup! I saw the idea at the wonderful <a href="http://www.teachpreschool.org/2013/10/pumpkin-seed-soup/" target="_blank">Teach Preschool</a> blog, and had to try it! My students LOVED it!! I cut the top off our pumpkin, gave them the other two ingredients (orange water and pumpkin spice) and let them go. The pumpkin was cleaned out slowly as each student took turns at the station. They did a great job mixing, stirring, pouring and serving their soup to their friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our classroom smelled wonderful too!</div>

We had so much fun learning about "echolocation" today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I began by explaining how echolocation works and why bats use it to find nocturnal prey. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we had some fun.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We acted it out. I was the bat while the students took turns choosing which nocturnal prey they would be. I pretended to use my echolocation to find my little lightening bugs, mosquitoes, moths, and mice!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we watched the perfect video about echolocation!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Hr-Y2Tt8gFE?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After watching this super cute video we tried it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I took a metal slinky and tied two pieces of yarn on one end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FHFvT6r1pxM/UmCndcZyPBI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/Cca5-ZQSDSA/s1600/Slide2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FHFvT6r1pxM/UmCndcZyPBI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/Cca5-ZQSDSA/s640/Slide2.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_qwFODM3VTM/UmCncPCrb2I/AAAAAAAAA6U/hNrM9O8unPQ/s1600/Slide3.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_qwFODM3VTM/UmCncPCrb2I/AAAAAAAAA6U/hNrM9O8unPQ/s640/Slide3.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Take each piece of yarn and wrap around your index fingers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0-F0sVR6pEI/UmCni0oIEZI/AAAAAAAAA6k/uFUOH4hydaQ/s1600/Slide4.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0-F0sVR6pEI/UmCni0oIEZI/AAAAAAAAA6k/uFUOH4hydaQ/s640/Slide4.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Insert your finger tips into your ears.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FlNDRIq_Xco/UmCnZn4kWLI/AAAAAAAAA6M/RZYnrBd2ff8/s1600/Slide1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FlNDRIq_Xco/UmCnZn4kWLI/AAAAAAAAA6M/RZYnrBd2ff8/s640/Slide1.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the slinky bounces sound waves travel up through the yarn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sound it makes is very interesting! </div>

All you need are two ladders, a broom handle, and some tape!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had some gross motor fun today by hanging upside down like bats! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This week we will be learning about bats! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids are naturally interested in these spooky creatures this time of year. By the end of the week, they will have learned just how useful these little creatures are to us. I created a new product to add to my science and math centers this week. It focuses on teaching the differences between bats and birds, bat themed counting and number recognition, and other nocturnal animals. Look for it in my TpT store. </div>

Bat vs. Bird<br />
We had a great discussion while playing this as a class about the differences between bats and birds. Tomorrow this will be open as an independent center.<br />
