Week #29

Another week of fun and learning with the letter Uu and prep for the upcoming celebrations. We started the week by cutting shamrocks for our mobiles. We celebrated a few birthdays and enjoyed show and tell time. For one class we had a special visitor, a relative of a student. We also met a few grandmothers at drop off and pick up time. It is always fun to meet members of our families. Grandparents are our angels here on earth. We learned the sounds the letter Uu makes and used the letter box to demonstrate things that start with this letter.  We learned U starts with umbrella, underwear (brought lots of laughs), United States, and the word up.  We also colored a unicorn, Ursula, to complete our letter page. We read some silly stories: Underpants Zoo and  Charles Super Hero Underpants. We learned the Irish Jig and encouraged the students to wear green Monday and Tuesday for a day of  Irish shenanigans. The week will concluded with a very Dr. Seuss Day.

Week #28

Letter Tt brought many interesting topics starting with TeeTee the Turtle as a good way to practice our cutting and gluing skills.  We completed our fun trips to the Library and we sent them a thank you card for making the experience a special one to do with friends. We read a story called, "I Love Trains" and one about the little Letter t. We learned that so many things start with this weeks letter and that they were easy to find in our library of books. Our songs were a blast as we formed a train and sang, "All Aboard the ChooChoo Train". We also had to do a favorite of most friends called the Tooty Ta song. It is a hit with most adults too.

 Show and Tell is going well with lots to tell about.

Pastor Bob sang some praise songs and silly ones too with us at Chapel time.

For snack we counted the Teddy Bear Cookies that were hiding in our animal cookies and then made them disappear one by one.
We practiced using our gross motors skills by walking the beam and jumping on the mini trampoline.

Now, something tells me that the letter Uu is not going to be as easy as Tt for topics to discuss. But then again, never underestimate a teacher!

Enjoy!
