America!!! A little late:)

O.K. So, I'm a little late posting about this!!...O.K. maybe A LOT late!;) I've just been so totally exhausted lately and my blog has definitely suffered because of it! So, sorry!!!

O.K, so on to the pictures:)

One of my favorite things about this week is the bulletin board!!!! I LOVE doing this bulletin board! It always turns out soooo stinkin cute and the parents just LOVE it! No matter how many cute projects we do in a year, parents always tell me that this is one of their favorites....one that they keep forever:) Always love hearing that!

Here's a close-up of some of the silhouettes.

Most of these look exactly like the kids! Want to know how I get them so precise? I just take a picture of their profile. Then, I open the picture on my computer screen. I put a white piece of paper on the screen and trace it right from my computer:)

Here are the centers we did that week. I still haven't put the finishing touches on them to post them on TPT:( I will have them posted soon incase you are wanting any for next year:)

EVERYONE in the building was amazed by how big the Statue of liberty's foot really is in "real life":)

 Here are a couple of examples of our response sheets after we measured to see if our class was longer or shorter than her foot;)
