Aboriginal Dot Art

Australia and Aboriginal Art

This week our MWF preK students will be 'traveling' to Australia.  Children will learn that Mrs. Q is terrible at accents but that an accent is when someone sounds different than what you are used to.  We have an accent!  We would sound different to someone from Australia. 

Students will be able to locate Australia on a map.  We will talk about the equator and Australian animals. 


Australia and Masterpiece Monday mean that students will be creating aboriginal art.  We will work on a canvas and also do a hand-print. 




Lots of fun in our classroom from the Land Down Under!

Never Forget You Are Loved

Valentine's Day is one month away.  I love, love, love making Valentine's cards for parents with our MCP students.  Last year we created an elephant that you'll never forget!

Fun Food Friday---Hot Chocolate

What a fun way to practice writing our name, our letters and numbers!  Hot chocolate powder and a pointer finger!  Dee-lish!  You and your child can do this at home.  A cookie sheet provides more surface for letters and numbers.  Older children can practice spelling words or math!  

Marshmallow Math

Here's a winter boredom buster to try at home....mugs, mini-marshmallows and dice.  Younger children can count with one or two dice.  Older children can multiply or add dice.  Count out marshmallows and add to mug.  Make some mugs of hot cocoa and have fun counting with your child!
