Clifford Day

Who's BIG and RED and loves first graders???   CLIFFORD, the Big Red Dog of course!  We celebrated our day 'Clifford Style' on Friday!

Kailynn wore her Clifford costume to school!  She wore it until after morning recess, when she finally got just too hot!

We did several activities today with a Clifford theme!  We started out our day with a couple of Clifford stories.  We then moved on to three Clifford coloring/activity pages: a dot-to-dot, a color-word, and a free coloring paper.  While they were working on the papers, Mrs. Ferrell fit their headbands and stapled on their ears to make them look like Clifford!  They kids enjoyed working on them until it was time for a special treat...

Zavier's mom, Trisha Schlipp, made us some very special doggy cupcakes to help celebrate Clifford's birthday!  They were adorable and ALMOST too cute to eat!  We thank her for making them for us!

Here the kids are, enjoying their special treats:

After recess, we made Clifford paper bag puppets.  There were also six bones to go with the puppet with sentences on them.  After we made the puppets, we practiced reading the bones and 'feeding' them to our puppets.

After lunch and recess, we worked on an art project to hang on one of our bulletin boards.  They kids worked very hard on these, as they knew they would be hanging on our wall in the classroom.

Here are the finished art projects.

On Fridays, we have two specials in the afternoon.  Our first was Library, but afterwords, we had just enough time for a fun Clifford movie...

After the movie, the kids had STEM class until the end of the day.  But before they left, I took a couple of class photos for your enjoyment...  The first is with the headbands and the second is holding up the puppets as well.
