Happy New Year! book

Happy New Year! book

IMG_2905Since it’s a new year, we decided to get things started off with a book that we’re pretty proud of.  Some of our students posed as our models for different events that have happened throughout the years, such as the marriage of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand and the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty.  Since we’ve figured out how to photoshop pictures, we got to place our students in front of backgrounds that coincide with the year of the event they’re in.

It’s a really cute book and one that shouldn’t be missed! (We say that a lot, don’t we? 🙂 )

We’re FROZEN book

We’re FROZEN book

We are **SO PROUD** of the book for this week!  Our student models are back again, this time as different characters from the movie Frozen.  The repetitive line is “who will we meet in Arendelle?”, which is the fictional town where Frozen takes place.  The amazing background that is used in each picture was painted by our art teacher, Judy, her intern Nicole, and her students.

This is a book that you really have to see!

Thank you to Fran, Jennifer, Angela, and Judy for providing some of the costumes that were used.

London book

London book

IMG_9605Since the Unique theme is all about transportation, we decided to “take a trip” to London!  The front of the book features a student in front of one mode of transportation, a plane.  Looking through the book, you can see real pictures from Joy and her sister-in-law from previous trips they have taken to London.

Our students got to “travel” to see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and the Tower of London, to name a few.  The The End page even has one of our students dressed like a guard in front of Buckingham Palace!

Fall Festival book

Fall Festival book

IMG_5036We just had the fall festival at our school recently, so we thought it would be fun to do our theme on fall festivals this week.  There are SO many things to do at a fall festival and our book touches on a few of the different activities.

We used real pictures of our students participating in the activities and you can tell that they had a pretty good time 🙂

Egypt book

Egypt book

IMG_8177On November 4, 1922, the entrance to King Tut’s tomb was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter.  We decided to base our theme for this week around that discovery and learn a little bit about Egypt.

Our book includes some facts about Egypt, both from ancient times as well as present times.   You should definitely check it out!

Peter Pan book

Peter Pan book

IMG_7127We are so excited about the book for this week!  We got help from a few of our students who dressed up as different characters from Peter Pan.  They all got to pose in front of an AMAZING background painted by our art teacher, Judy, and some of the students in her classes.

We also had huge help with costumes from Ms. Lois and Ms. Michelle. This book is so colorful and the pictures are just so beautiful!  Some of our wheelchair-bound students posed as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell and they look like they’re flying across the scenery.

This is definitely a book you’ll want to see!

Creepy, Crawly Critters book

Creepy, Crawly Critters book

IMG_6175We are talking about creepy, crawly critters and their habitats this week, which goes along with the Unique theme for the month.  We came up with lots of different animals and insects that we think are pretty creepy and/or crawly and found out that they can live in so many different places.  When reading the book, we pointed out the animals and insects that we see outside of our school, like lizards and spiders.  We turned the lights off while reading this book to add to the creeeeeepiness.  Enjoy!!

IMG_9697Spring is in the air as plants and flowers are in full bloom—–at least down here in Florida, they are 🙂  Our book specifically tells how flowers grow and worked as a step by step guide for our language group activity.  We are loving all of the beautiful colors that we get to see each day because of the flowers that are in bloom!  Now if only this pollen would go away…

Circus book

Circus book

IMG_6464The FSU circus is in town, so that became the inspiration for our theme.  We used some of our students as models for the book, so get ready for an abundance of CUTENESS!  There are lots of different jobs within a circus, like a juggler, trapeze artist, and strong man.  We touched on a few of the jobs in the book.  Again, our students were so excited to see their friends all dressed up.  Since so many of our little students can be acrobats without even trying, it made photographing them so much more interesting 🙂  As always, Joy did a wonderful job posing them.  The art teacher, Judy, created the background that is used in each of the pictures.  It pulls the book all together and really makes it look like our models were in the circus!  Enjoy!
