Ll Week and The Winter Olympics

Journals - A kiddo, who LOVES lions, made this adorable lion in her journal.

Walk the Lines - Just a bit of silliness.

Letter Writing - The kiddos wrote letters to each other, then we took them out to the mailbox for our postman to pick up! 

 

Snack - Ll - Licorice and Lemon Lime Kool-Aid - The kiddos had to make an L from their licorice before they could eat it.

Ll Clothing - Lines - A hat and a dress!

 

Lines - We had a birthday today and she brought yummy cupcakes with LINES on them!

Doily Lions - The kiddos created very cute lions!

 

 

Lollipop Making - Just jolly ranchers in the oven on a low temperature for 10 minutes or so and taa daa!  Lollipops!

All done!  I just need to roll the lollipop sticks in them...

Paper Plate Lollipops - Youngsters - Once they dried we added a swirl on them.  We also ate a lollipop after we finished painting.

True Confession - Ms. Sara LOVES the Olympics.  So we spent Friday celebrating the start of the winter Olympics.

Circle Time - I showed the kiddos on the globe where the Winter Olympics are this year.

Journal Time - The kiddos colored in the Olympic Rings.  There are 5 rings, symbolizing the 5 continents that compete and including the colors from all the flags.

 

Free Play - Olympic Watching - I put a variety of winter Olympic events on the laptop for the kiddos to watch.  Their favorites were figure skating and the video of epic Olympic crashes.

 

A few comments from the kiddos as they watched:

Figure skating:
"It's called ice skating, but Ms. Sara calls it figure skating."
"Wow!  He just threw her in the air!!" 

Snowboard Halfpipe:
"He was holding onto the board..."
"...and flipping!!"  "I like the guy from Norway!"

Mogels:
"Wow, wow, wow!  I'm the biggest fan of this!"
"Go, go, go, go ... don't crash!"

Snack - Cheeto Torch - Before we knew it, the clock said 11:00 and we hadn't done any of our Olympic projects or activities yet!  Yikes!

Figure Skating - Wax Paper - The kiddos had a blast skating around the classroom, especially after having watched figure skating.
