Costumes, costumes everywhere!!!


Puppets, costumes, always fun!




Bugs, bugs and more bugs!

We LOVE bugs in Mrs. Mason's classroom.....Love, love, love them! I absolutely adore boys and their fascination with all things living, because somehow I got that same fascination, and it is just SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Anyway, my son and his aunt caught a Praying Mantis the other day, so he graciously let me take it to my classroom (after it went to his classroom first, of course!) and we got to examine the bug, and then figure out why they call it a Praying Mantis! And, of course, at every recess we must find any bugs we can, worms, slugs, all sorts of crawly bugs....FUN!!!








Centers!

We have fun in centers! We have centers 3 times a week, and everyone has a partner. Because we have an odd number in our class, one group has three instead of two. We have so much fun. Beads (above) are one of our centers

And Computers! Always a favorite!


Kitchen....I do love imaginative play!

Playdough letters!

Listening!
