Superheroes and Villians! Happy Birthday Zackman!


Superheroes and Villains

My little Zackman is going to be six next week!  Last year I didn’t blog so I wanted to make a post about his party last year because it was way to fun to be forgotten!  He was really into lego batman on xbox and that gave me the idea to have a superheroes and villains party!  Whenever we have a party in our house the whole family gets involved and we go all out!  Sadly I was so into the party this year I didn’t take pictures of all the fun things we did! 

The week before the party we prepped all of the party decorations.  My husband watches the old Batman show with the kids which made these decorations fun!  I ordered vintage villain masks on www.ebay.com these masks were decoration.  We also used them in our scavenger hunt coming up!  I downloaded my printables from www.etsy.com love etsy!


After we prepped the decorations my mother in law and I made capes for each child with their initial on the back superman style!  These capes were actually very easy to make and the kids loved them!!!  We just bought felt in different colors.  We cut them out and tried them on our boys for measurements (we are very professional like that haha)   After we cut them we added a Velcro closure on the neck.  I printed out a logo on cardstock then traced it on felt.  We cut out the superman shaped logo and hot glued it all together.  Finally I cut out each initial and glued around it all with glitter glue.  My mother in law sewed a stitch around the logos to finish them off!



We had a craft table set up for the kids to make their own masks.  We also had a table set up with an activity for them to pick a superhero name based on their personality.


We had superhero music and a fog machine going as well.  After the initial activities it was time for Superhero training camp! 


The kids had to do everything a superhero might have to do...crawling, rolling, jumping, climbing, flying and running.  We practiced all of our moves to make sure we were ready for our mission!

Next was our mission.
We got a letter from the major stating that the villains had stolen all of the money from the city bank!  It was our job as superheroes to get the money back!  Beware!  The villains are ready to fight!

We went on a scavenger hunt to find the money.  Along the way each villain came out (Abbie, Allie and friends wearing the vintage villain masks) and threw an Easter egg at them with a clue inside.  The final clue led us to jokers playhouse which was a room filled with balloons and joker was hiding inside with the bags of money.  There were so many balloons the kids couldn’t see the joker hiding and he jumped out and threw the money at them!  It was fantastic!  I was the Joker so sadly we don’t have any pictures.

We ended our day with mighty munchies a batman pinata and superhero cupcakes. 
It was such a fun day this little superhero was worn out! 
I can’t wait for our star wars party this year.
I would love to hear your comments and thoughts! :)

PreK and K Sharing Post Making a Theme Come To Life


We just finished up our pond unit and to make our theme come to life we went to the pond, the feed store and the pet store to actually experience pond habitats in real life!  The kids were thrilled and loved every minute of it!  You can read more about How we made our Theme come to life here at Pre K and K sharing
Let me know what you think!

100th day of school!!!! Thrilling Thematic Thursday!


100 days of school!!  This year has been flying by, I cannot believe it!  Today was our 100th day of school it was wild, crazy, a little bit dangerous but fun!  We were lucky to have an amazing parent helper stay for our special day.  We started out our day making our 100 day crowns.  Then we headed to circle time to count our chart and to see what number we ended up on.
Our helper of the day counts the numbers everyday and we count with him.  When we get to a "10" we do something different everyday.  Today we jumped and clapped every time! :)

We sang our 100 days of school songs and we read an interactive poem together.  For Math the first thing we did was dance to this song.



I asked the kids if they had 100 dollars what would they buy.  Everybody had a chance to draw on the chart what they would buy.


We even got to see a REAL 100 dollar bill!!


Each Child shared the poster they made at home for a family project with 10 groups of 10

Great family projects!!


Every child brought in 100 of some type of snack.  We counted and graphed everyone's snacks then put them all into one big bowl to make "gorp"
Everyone helped make "gorp"


We had a cooperative project where the thinking math question was "how many friends will I need to count 100 fingers?"  We had quite a few sick kids today so we had exactly 10 friends to count fingers on.  They were excited to see that it equaled exactly 100!!!

our 10 friends equaled 100 fingers!!!

Finally we had a special treat brought in by one of our students!!  This was my favorite 100th day memory ever!!!  This little boy brought in a cake with 100 candles to celebrate my team teachers' "100th birthday" haha !! 

Happy 100th birthday Mrs. Nicole!!

my brave parent helper!!  She almost caught on fire, that is dedication!!!  haha this is what 100 candles looks like! :)

Happy 100th day everyone!!
