Letter T Week April 8th-12th

Letter T Week

 

Letter T poster.  Letter T is for Tiger, Turtle, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Tooth, Ten, Truck and Tinker Bell.  We learned all about the Letter T everyday, we sang its song, practiced its sound, learned how to write uppercase and lowercase, as well has recognizing it.

It was also a new month. The month of April is upon us, so we made water color umbrellas with raindrops for our classroom bulletin boards.  We learned a new April song and said goodbye to March.

This week was also all about the Number 10.  We counted to 10, sang our counting song and finally sang to number 10, watched a sesame street youtube video on the number 10, practiced writing the number 10 and recognizing it as well. 

It was also Dental Hygene week here at Preschool.  Since T is for Teeth.  And look what Mr. M brought to share with all of his friends..tooth necklaces.  These were a hit.  We dressed up some friends with a white crown on their head (crown of the tooth), a pink blanket wrapped around their body (our gums in our mouth) and our legs represented the tooths roots.  We sang lots of tooth songs about, missing teeth, teeth that hurt (cavity), how the dentist help and how to brush our teeth.

We made an art project with one of our songs on the back to help us remember all we learned about our teeth and how to take care of them. Believe me, when I say there was a lot of talk about the Tooth Fairy.  We even watched a few minutes of the movie "Rise of the Guardians", with the Tooth Fairy in it.  All the kids are super excited to loose a tooth and get a visit from the Tooth Fairy.

This is one of the games we played.  We had lima beans one side was painted white, one side was painted black.  We rolled the lima beans and counted how many Healthy Teeth we had (White teeth), then we got to move that many spaces.  Who ever reached the end first, was the winner.  We talked a lot about what kinds of food our healty for our teeth and what kinds of foods arent very good for our teeth.  The children were really into learning about their teeth.  It was exciting.

 

Here are the books we read this week; "The Tooth Book", "The Bearenstein Bears visit the Dentist", and "Julia and Her Wiggly Tooth". 

 

We also made our letter T alphabet page, we made pink playdough- and played another tooth game with it, had wonderful snacks like-cinnamon rolls with fruit, teddy grahams, cheese, triscuits, fruit cups and juice boxes.  Thank you for all the wonderful snacks.  It was a great week, we were a little crazy since we had been out of school for a week of Spring Break, but it was wonderful to be back together. Next week is the Letter U, Sorting and Butterflies! Oh and Class Pictures on Friday, Yeah!

See You All Tomorrow,
