F if for Fish

Our fondly referred to "Nemos" were a big success. Each child really customized their fish with different stripes, water, and seaweed all around. As the weeks go by, I'm very pleased with our collages. I'm noticing much better fine motor control and the kiddos are so happy to choose the alphabet center.

S Snake

Snakes are a regular occurrence here in the jungle. We see snakes slither across our outdoor hallway with some frequency, so the kiddos have a personal connection to them. This was reflected in lots of patterns, smiles, and familiarity.

KISS, keep it simple stupid

Overwhelmed by shelves gone wild? Have you ever reached a point when your home or classroom shelves begin to explode? I really never thought I would, but here I am with this: My kiddos have basically stopped using this area because the shelves have become too overwhelming. Now don't get me wrong, I love having so many beautiful resources, but too much is too much! So I turned my shelf to utilize the space better and simplified. Two days later the literacy area is one of the go to spots in the class. I think this is an easy fix, simplify and they will come. As my very smart dad is fond of saying "keep it simple stupid!" A reminder that has served my kiddos well this week.

V Vase

We could just as easily have done V Valentines, but the vase came out nicely too. I might try and use ribbon or paper strips to create the stems next year, that way it will be more clear that the V is the container for the flowers. Don't forget the complete set of black line masters for A-Z are available at my store, just follow this link: Http:www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Alphabet-Collage-Book-Upper-Case-1535454
