Welcome to Division 23!

Welcome to our classroom blog. I will post every weekend to update you on what we did in school that week. We spent the last two weeks getting to know each other, learning some of the classroom rules and routines, read lots of stories, sang lots of songs, and played a lot!

Instead of giving you a day-by-day recount of the past two weeks, I will list the stories, songs, and games we learned and give you some information upcoming dates and events. I have provided links for some of the stories and songs that I could find online.

Games

Huckle Buckle Beanstalk

How to Play: 

  • Have all players sit in on the carpet with their heads down and eyes covered.
  • Hide an object (Teddy Bears work well) in plain sight.
  • When you say so, players may open their eyes and quietly walk around the room looking for the object with their hands behind their back.
  • When a player finds the object, they must sit back down and say "Huckle buckle beanstalk!" without letting others know where the object is.
  • Continue playing until everyone has found the object.
