My kids were really into practicing cutting during the last few months while I was there, so one of the things we did was decorate our room with beautiful butterflies! All of these butterflies were cut out by my experts at fine-motor skills. Together they made a beautiful, colorful collage of seemingly-living butterflies!
To make the butterflies, all we did was trace half a butterfly image onto folded paper, then I let them do all the work! For the kids who had a harder time with the folded paper, I stapled the sides together.
During our Earth/Go Green unit, we had a dump truck with alphabet rocks. This was a capitol-lowercase letter matching exercise.
One which they absolutely loved!
We also discussed pollution. We had a water tub with lots of ocean creatures, and pretty blue water. But the kids got to add some "garbage" (which was cleaner than real garbage, I promise) and explored what it was like for the animals when they "played" in the yucky water. We discussed how the animals felt, and how we would feel if our homes and play areas were polluted.
This is a generic count-and-clip game that I kept in the math center every week, but changed the theme for. The clips would be legs for bugs, or petals/leaves for flowers. For our safari unit, it was elephants with a number and crocodiles. Some elephants were eaten by one crocodile, and some by eleven! This was a favorite activity that we kept in the math center for months.
The last thing we mapped was my favorite so far, and it was inspired by the book Around the World on Eighty Legs. I requested it after seeing the cover somewhere, and it just so happened to work out well with our map theme. The book has dozens of short poems about various animals from each of the continents (except North America and Europe). We have been reading from this book all week. The kids are even requesting for certain animals to be re-read! After we read a poem, we took turns mapping pictures of the animal in its native continent. The end result looks pretty cool!
I keep a notebook in my cabinet that's sole purpose is to hold quotes from my kids. "Kids say the darndest things", after all (and it's so true!). Almost every day I hear something totally hilarious. 
In other news, often I find myself struggling to clean up after the messes I find in my class. Germs are the bane of my existence! Everyone has a cold right now (including me), and apparently the flu is going around in the Seattle area. I'm hoping that one will bypass our class, but there are never any guarantees.
