February in My Classroom

February is always a jam packed month! With only 18 school days, 10 of which were taught by my fabulous student teacher, Erikah (above!), I was left with just 8 days of teaching this month! However, in those 18 days we covered 10 themes: Dental Health Month, Ground Hog's Day, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, President's Day, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Money, Telling Time, and Rodeo Round-Up! A few pictures are missing-the kids brands from Rodeo, the reading stage coach I built, and our cherry blossom trees for George Washington. (I will add these after Rodeo vacation on Monday!)

Lovebugs helps us learn about addition!

"Stained glass" hearts!

Eating with chopsticks!

The BEST parent helpers you could ask for!
They brought this huge George Foreman to cook our hot dogs!

We played Snakes and Ladders!

We made a snack that looked like a campfire!

Saddle bag snacks for our horses-
hay (Frosted Shredded Wheat)
corn (Pops)
grains (Cheerios)

Panned for gold!

Rodeo Lunch Under the Stars! We ate hot dogs, baked beans, carrots, and juice. Later we had a delicious treat--SMORES!

Every good cowboy has his or her own horse!
We went for a ride around the school!

Yee haw!

  1. You are incredible!! I took great notes - just the things to get me motivated and keep me going. WISH I was on Rodeo Break! I'm just glad to be able to muck out my classroom tomorrow night when Rich goes Snow Camping with the Scouts. I'm planning a pizza and soda party with myself and a LOT of rearranging and planning!! It will NEVER look like this but it may look clean!
