this week's snapshot

We are continuing our countries and Olympics study this week with Africa. Ms. Kaley left for a 2 week stay in Africa this morning so we dedicated this week to her trip.

Monday the students created a handprint Africa. I saw this idea on Pinterest <3.

Tuesday we traveled to Tuscaloosa to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. And we ate at McDonald's afterwards and played. It was a great day!

Sacked out!

Wednesday we fingerpainted South Africa's flag.

And we also made leaf crowns like the winners of the Olympics used to receive instead of a gold medal. I found this laurel wreath crown at Easy Preschool Craft's site.

The events we learned about this week include field hockey, football, gymnastics, judo, modern pentathalon, handball, and rowing.

And here's a few pics from open centers. :)
