Back to School with Pete the Cat!!
Parents and Students got to see exactly how groovy our classroom is!
And after touring the class, the wee ones got a few special treats:
Button cookies! (Nilla wafers with piped on button-hole icing.) It was my intention to have them red, blue, green, and yellow, but the food coloring did not want to cooperate (and the blue walked away), and it was 12:20 am..... I'm told they were delish.
Pete the Cat puzzles. I had 4 piece, 9 piece, and numbered (1-10 and 11-20), for a variety of skill levels.
And games! Sorting, size ordering, counting, patterns, all kinds of games!
Everyone got to pick one puzzle and one game to take home and play with.
I wrote the directions for the game on each bag, and added some extension questions for at home learning.
And they each got a bag of cookies- some made it home, some didn't... :)
I found these wonderful printables here:
