Letter B Week & Yellow Week

B is for Bumble Bees, Baseball and Bats, Balloons, Bubbles, Banana's, and Bread sticks.  Here are some quick highlights from Letter B Week.

 Uppercase B page and Lowercase B page.  We learned uppercase and lowercase b, its sound, a song and played a game with the letter B.

 B is for Banana pudding parfaits.  We made them all by ourselves.  I hope they were a yummy treat.  Bananalicious!

 We played yellow games and sang yellow songs and made our yellow book page for our rainbow book.

 Here is our Letter B alphabet page for our book.  We are learning sign language for each letter.  And working really hard on our handwriting of each letter.

 We blew bubbles during playtime.  B is for Bubbles!

 For our science experiment we put vinegar in a bottle, then baking soda in a balloon.  We attached the balloon to the bottle and poured in the baking soda.  What do you think happened? We made a gas (carbon dioxide) and it blew up our balloons! We love hands on learning!

 For snack this week we had letter B bread sticks with pizza sauce, juice boxes, banana muffins, chips, graham crackers and juice.  This is one of our most favorite times of the day-so it is awesome when we can learn while making our bellies HAPPY!

Here are the Letter B stories we read this week.  We are getting really good at sitting still and listening and answering questions about what we have read.  

This week was great and we look forward to another fun week.  Next week is Camping week for letter C and the color Orange. Should be SMORE fun!  

We have learned 2 sightwords so far, they are: a & an.  

We have learned this much of the Pledge of Allegiance:  I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stand....  ...more next week.

Thanks for such an awesome two weeks.  The children are learning the routine and rules.  We are having such a good time getting to know each other and learning all the while.  I love your children and hope they love coming to school and learning.  I have always believed that if a child can experience things through all five senses (touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell) that they will learn it quicker and more deeply.  That is what I try to do with our food experiences, snack, songs, games, science experiments, play time, stories and projects. I hope that you know we are working hard at preschool even if no paperwork comes home.  Thanks for sharing your children with me.

Sincerely, 

Miss Heidi
