Letter F

We finished up letter F today - how fun!  We painted flower pots that we will plant pansies in next week.  We also worked on patterns with red and purple flowers.  We made finger paint bags inside ziploc bags (with extra tape!)  We also finger-painted fire - red, yellow and orange paint!  We made Fs with popsicle sticks and put on football pictures.  We made a feather picture and paper fans.

We had counting 5 fingers and then making finger puppets - "Five Little Monkeys!"  We made a fantastic flower necklace and played a fishing color game.  We also used stamp pads to make finger-prints on the Letter F.

Our favorite activity this week was "Will it Float?"  We took a bunch of little toys from around the room and put them in a big bucket of water to see if they would float or sink.  We were amazed at how many of them floated! It was a super fun week!

Next week we will take a break from the alphabet to have fun with pumpkins, bats and black cats!  We are even having a costume parade and party on Thursday!

Letter E

We had an exciting E week!  We were very eager to learn about all E things.  We water colored elephant pictures and then we did a size game with elephant pictures putting them smallest to largest.  We also made a picture for someone we love and put it in an envelope.  Tuesday we danced and sung while using musical egg shakers, we had so much fun, that on Thursday, we made our own egg shakers with Easter Eggs and macaroni!  We also painted an Elmo paper plate, they were adorable!  We did exercise with our exercise cube, we took turns to throw the cube and we all had to do the exercise that it landed on, I think our favorite was jumping jacks!

We made a capital E out of popsicle sticks and used Bingo dot markers to trace a letter E. We also put food coloring into glue and painted it onto an egg shape cut-out to make pretty shiny eggs.  We had fun doing eraser art - erasing pencil marks on a paper to make a design.  For our cooking project, we made an Easy Egg Omelet with eggs, ham and cheese - it was yummy!

Letter D

We had a delightful week learning about the letter "D!"  We made a "D" picture with D, dolphins and dinosaur stamps, we also made a collage of diamonds (the shape, not the gem!) picture.  We talked about how awesome our dads are and we drew a picture and wrote what we liked most about our dads.  We also spray painted dragonflies, made dot pictures with BINGO dot markers and made Ds on our MagnaDoodle boards.  Doodling on aqua-doodle mats, playing Lucky Ducks, dominoes and Dinosaur Match games were also fun this week. We are now eager to move onto the letter "E!"
