This week we focused on the letter Dd. We talked about the sound the letter Dd makes and words that begin with the letter Dd. We came up with dad, dinosaur, dentist, dog, and donut.
On Tuesday, we focused on the theme of dental. For morning start-up, we colored a dental page. For morning centers, we played a tooth roll and cover game, played an alligator tooth game, practiced tracing/writing the letter Dd, and put together dental puzzles. We also did the Dd says /d/ page. In the afternoon, we worked on a “Good/Bad” for your teeth page. At the end of the day, we did a group activity putting different things on a “good for you/bad for you” tooth. We also read stories about our teeth and dental.
On Wednesday, we focused on the theme of dinosaurs. For start-up, we colored a dinosaur page. We then went into specials. For centers, we made dino eggs out of playdoh and put them on the right numbered nest, played with dinos, matched our upper- and lower-case ABCs with a dino theme, and measured different dinosaurs with unifix cubes. In the afternoon, we did our February monthly coloring/writing page. At the end of the day, we put our dino eggs in water and we are going to see if they hatch on Thursday.
On Thursday, we also focused on dinosaurs. For morning centers, we did tanagram puzzles and made dinosaurs, did a cut and paste dino worksheet, did a dinosaur creative writing, and matched numbers with a dino theme. We then played a game of alphabet bingo. For afternoon art, we made shape dinosaurs. At the end of the day, we played in play centers with our friends.
Until next week,
Mrs. Brandi
