Dd Week

This week we learned about the letter Dd, reviewed our colors, and started shapes and numbers! Presley brought a duck and a doggy, Briella brought a toy duck, Katie brought a duck and Dora, Caedon and Konner both brought dinosaurs, and Grayden brought a duck along with Dr. Pepper especially for Brenda! The kids had fun sharing their toys and things they brought. They also got a kick out of a game that we played...Doggy, Doggy, Where's Your Bone? They loved it. We reviewed our signing of the letters and learned how to do Dd. We also read a book called I LIKE FALL and sang a song called "The Squirrels are Hunting For Nuts." We then proceeded to make our Dd craft...doorknob hangers for our rooms. The kids had loads of fun picking out cute little things that they liked. We also used that time to talk about colors as well. The kids also colored their weekly pictures for their folders.

The Squirrels are Hunting for Nuts
The Squirrels are Hunting for Nuts
They're here, they're there, they're everywhere
The Squirrels are Hunting for Nuts.
They bury them deep in the ground
They bury them deep in the ground
They're here, they're there, they're everywhere
They bury them deep in the ground.
They stand up straight and tall
They stand up straight and tall
They're here, they're there, they're everywhere
They stand up straight and tall.
A great week indeed!

Cc Week

Today we had circle time and we reviewed our letters by signing them. The kids are doing GREAT at that! We learned to sign the letter Cc. We also had to sing our "Bumblebee" song because the kids love it. We clapped along with the ABC song also. The kids had show and tell with their Cc things they brought. Caedon brought himself, along with candy for everyone and some cars - thanks for the candy Caedon!! Grayden brought a cute cow and a chinese dragon, Katie brought a Cat, Briella brought a Carebear, Konner and Karson both brought cars, and Presley & Addy wore their camp shirts, brought a crab, Croakie (from Jo Jo's circus), a computer and cows. All very cute ideas from everyone. We did Calendar time together and read a book for Cc - Clifford's Pals. The kids enjoyed it. We then went into the kitchen to color our cameras with pictures of Clifford camping. Brenda and I also worked a little bit on the colors for this week. We will work on them all each week along with the letters from now on. Next week we will learn the letter Dd. Please have the kids bring something that starts with Dd and also, have them practice signing the letters we have already learned. They are doing a great job with this! A great week indeed!

Bb Week

The kids are catching on quickly to signing the alphabet. Jeff's mom must be working with him at home because he knew how to sign Bb without being showed! Good job Jeff! Briella brought herself for circle time, along with a bear that was a bride and she also wore a belt! Presley brought Boo Boo bear and Katie brought a beach bag full of Bears. We sang about a baby bumblebee...




I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee
Ouch! He stung me!
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm squishing up my baby bumblebee
Uh oh! I'm all dirty
I'm wiping up my baby bumblebee
Won't my mommy be so proud of me
I'm wiping up my baby bumblebee
Oh no! I'm yucky! Mommy's gonna be mad at me!


The kids loved that song and we had to sing and do the motions 4 times! Lots of laughs!
We then made our bunny bags full of Bb things...bandaids, balls and balloons. The kids really enjoyed playing with their blown up balloons before lunch. We also made sure all the kids colored their weekly pictures of Bb for their folders. Fun week indeed!

Aa Week

Last week we learned the letter Aa and we sent out the newsletter to everyone via email. We also celebrated Cindy's birthday (which was the most fun part for the kids). Here are a couple of pics of our first circle time week.
