Hey all! I'm so sad... I was at school until 6:30 on Friday getting stations ready and forgot to take pictures before I left! So I hope I can remember to on Monday! =)
But for now... I have a few pictures of some Chicka Chicka Boom Boom trees we made during small groups this past week! I got the idea from Deanna Jump and Jennifer Tilton. They turned out so cute! Now keep in mind... I let my kiddos make them, without any of my "input"as to where to put the leaves and such. I like to see them making choices as to where to place the leaves and stickers. =) It makes them more unique! I just helped them when it came to taking the back off their stickers. And I also highlighted most of my kid's names to trace b/c all but 5 kids can actually write them currently.... so we have our work cut out for us! (It just gives us lots of room to grow!)
Here are a few pics...

| After we finished our trees.... I held each one up and we counted the letters in each students name and graphed them on the document reader! =) |
Here are a few close-ups!!!
I'm so sorry for my lack of posting! The kids and I are finally starting to settle in with the routines and rules... so hopefully I'll get more time to take pictures throughout the day! But until then.... Thanks for following! =)
Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!!!
