Hi Parents,
We had a great week finish learning about the letter Yy and introducing the letter Qq. Here is a snap shot…
On Tuesday our theme was ‘yarn art.’ In morning centers, the kids weaved yarn on a plate in number order, they cut out a yellow Y and hole punched it, they cut and glued pictures to match each season, and they built shapes using mega blocks. In afternoon centers, the kids worked on an animal sticker by number, they traced the alphabet, and they built with magna tiles. We ended the day by doing an activity called ‘what’s in the egg?’ I showed the kids 6 different items (corn, paper clips, bells, candy hearts, plastic connector toys, and buttons) and they had to guess which egg those items were in after I shook the egg. This was good practice with their ‘listening ears!’ I think they ended up getting 3 right, which they were excited about.
On Wednesday the theme was ‘queen.’ In the morning the kids rotated through specials learning Spanish, science, sign language, and zoo phonics. In afternoon centers, the kids rolled a die and put jewels on ten frames, they cut and glued jewels on to a crown, they worked on coloring Q words, and they cut and glued the word ‘queen.’ We ended the day with art. The kids each made a quilt square with brightly colored paper and I put them all together on one big piece of paper to make a quilt. I posted pictures in GroupMe, it turned out great and is hanging on the back of the door in our classroom!
On Thursday our theme was ‘quilt.’ In morning centers, the kids worked on a color by letter, they weaved their own paper quilt, they cut and glued their Q page, and they colored a quilt. In afternoon centers, they finished their work from morning centers, they cut and glued a Q and made it a queen, they wrote their name and drew a flower, and they built with LEGO’s and played with kinetic sand. We ended the day by finishing up coloring and working on a fun surprise for king and queen day.
Next week we will talk about the letter Bb. Looking forward to it!
Take Care,
