Letter A

So today we started the new curriculum!  We began at the beginning, the Letter A!  We talked about the letter during snack, while we were eating apples.  Afterwards, we opened the Letter Jar and found an airplane, an astronaut, an apple, Ariel from Little Mermaid and an ape.  We then painted apples (paper paints painted red) and went for an acorn hunt.  Later this morning, we used our magic noodles and "glued" them on an A page (see http://www.makinglearningfun.com/themepages/MagicNuudlePages.htm for pattern.)  We then practiced writing "A"s on our white-boards and then played a fun game rolling dice and putting that many red apples (pom-poms) on a cut out picture of a tree.  I will have to start taking some pictures during these activities so you can see how much fun they are having!
