More Pete the Cat!

Hi everyone, remember me?!  :) I've been a real blogging slacker over the last few weeks!  We're on spring break this week and it's been so nice to relax and spend time with family and friends.  Spring break also means that I have extra time, which means I can finally blog about the last two weeks of Pete the Cat Fun!  We focused on Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons and Pete the Cat:  Rocking in My School Shoes.  We all LOVED our Pete the Cat unit!  

We made our own Pete the Cat with his four buttons.  The first day we cut out Pete's shirt, face, eyes, and nose.  The second day we assembled it and added details.  I found the original idea at Mrs. Plant's Press.  

I think we have some pretty spectacular artists!  

Our last Pete the Cat project was a Pete the Cat headband, which was a big hit!

They loved being Pete the Cat!

During table time, we matched the shapes on Pete's shoes.

At circle time, we counted buttons and added them to Pete's shirt.  This was a free download from Heidi Songs.

We also identified body parts on Pete.  Ms. Ryleigh and I read the body part, the kids pointed to it on Pete, and then they glued the word in the corresponding box.  

We also worked on sequencing and retelling Pete the Cat:  I Love My White Shoes.  

We finished the week by voting on our favorite Pete the Cat book.  We wrote each cutie's name on a shoe and then they placed it under their favorite book.  The morning class voted Rocking in My School Shoes as their favorite and the afternoon voted I Love My White Shoes as their favorite.

In other news...We had a Sparkles and Smiles dental assembly.  We learned about which foods help to make our teeth stronger and which foods can hurt our teeth.  She also explained to us about brushing and flossing and how often we should clean our teeth.  

Then, we were able to practice brushing dragon teeth!  

We also had a language group with Ms. Mary.  Ms. Mary told one person on each team an item to place on the picture and where it should go.  For example, "Place the chair behind the girl."  When all the items were on the picture, we compared each team's picture and decided if it was where Ms. Mary asked for it to be.  This was a little tricky for some of them! 

Thanks for stopping by!
