Letter G Week

Letter G Week

If you all haven't figured out yet, I am a little behind in blogging. So in an attempt to catch up this is going to be short and sweet.  Above are the pictures from letter G week.  

On Monday, we learned the letter of the week and turned it into an animal (G is for Giraffe). We sang songs, gave friends with G's in their names a cheer, practiced its sound and found its place in the alphabet.  We also had a fun science experiment called, "Dancing Colors".  The story we read was "Giraffe's Can't Dance", so our science experiment went along with it.  To read more about our science experiment check it out here: http://www.sciencebob.com/experiments/colorsymphony.php

On Wednesday, we were detectives and worked hard on finding letter G's uppercase and lowercase.  We sang some Giraffe songs and worked on our shape book.  We are a little behind on our shape book, so we are working hard on it everyday to finish it up. We also played a game to practice our "it" family words.

Friday, is fun day.  We made our alphabet page for our alphabet book.  G is for Glitter and glue.  We practiced our handwriting uppercase and lowercase. Worked on our shape book and squeezed in a fun food experiment.  We made a giraffe cake with a white batter design and then baking the chocolate over the top of it.  We spread the frosting in the middle and rolled it up.  I will be honest, it did not come home looking good at all.  Thankfully, it tasted better than it looked.  The picture above looks pretty awesome though.  So that finishes up our letter G week.  Onto letter H!

Letter F Week

Letter F Week

This week is a little foggy in my mind because I have waited so long to post about it.  I remember starting out the week reading, "We're Going on a Leaf Hunt". Then we went on a leaf hunt, we gathered acorns and other things along the way.  Since then the weather has turned way too cold to go outside for any sort of recess...so we are being creative indoors.  

We learned all of the normal things like the letter F, its sound, uppercase and lowercase recognition.  We made our letter F "Frog", we practiced our letter F handwriting, we made our letter F alphabet page, we sang letter F songs and frog songs, and we made Oreo cookie frogs for our Fun Friday Food experience.  We have also been working on our "it" family words all months by doing various activities and lots of sounding out and blending words.  It might seem too hard...but the kids really can start to blend and sound out letters to make words. 

Of course, we had yummy snacks like; animal crackers, fruit kabobs (for Mr. E's Birthday) and string cheese.  We always have the best snacks and such a variety. We love it!

This week a lot of things changed in our classroom.  It was time to say goodbye to October and hello to November.  So we decorated leaves for our new November bulletin boards. Plus, we have been learning new Thanksgiving songs and November songs. 

We are starting to see signs of sickness in our classroom,,,so a huge thank you for keeping your child home when they are not feeling well.  It really helps all of us to keep feeling well!

Thanks, for another awesome week!

 Till next time, Miss Heidi
