Reptiles and Amphibians Galore!!



We learned all about reptiles and amphibians this week!! We began our week by painting one of the larger reptiles, a crocodile! Check out our Lyle, the Crocodiles!


We have been practicing our patterning skills and I was able to snap a few pictures of us practicing our ABA and ABBA patterning as a group. We are picking up this concept very quickly and I couldn’t be prouder!!







On Tuesday some real reptiles came to visit us!! We were so excited!!

















We learned that snakes smell with their tongues. We tried, but just couldn’t smell a thing J



To extend our learning we talked about snakes and we made snake names for art!! We practiced putting our names in order and had fun creating our very own snakes!





In the afternoon we added clothespin “legs” to our crocodiles from Monday. Watch out, our crocodiles can walk around now!!












Here are some pictures of my munchkins having some fun throughout the room. We just love to play mommy!!!

Check out our little engineers in the making!

On Wednesday the Reptile Wizard came to visit us. I can’t tell you how lucky we felt to see all of the reptiles she brought!!!









At art time we made some lizards that we could take home to make as our very own pets!! We explored what happens when we mixed blue and yellow and found out that we made green!








In the afternoon we explored weight measurements!! We looked at the difference between different objects and their weight, then explored the weight of some of our favorite reptiles, dinosaurs!!!






We made chameleons for art with dot art paints!
We decided to end our week a pure royalty!! We all “rocked” the princess dresses!!!

















We had a GREAT week!!
