Rr Week

Today we learned the letter Rr and words that start with Rr such as racoon and rocket. We reviewed all our letters and signed them. We also learned to sign the letter Rr (make a promise sign by crossing your two fingers). The kids did well with this one so hopefully they can show you when they go home. Grayden brought Rocky and Ramone to show, Konner brought a racecar and Presley brought Ratatouille for everyone to watch. Great ideas. We also established that Briella wore red for Rr and Jeff sported a rug burn on his head (poor Jeff) - for Rr. He enjoyed sharing the story about how he got it though. The kids colored their weekly pictures yesterday so we made a picture with raindrops - fitting for today since it is raining outside. We sang "It' Raining, It's Pouring...The Old Man is Snoring..."
We ended our circle time by celebrating Konner's birthday...Happy Birthday, Konner!
Next week we will learn the letter Ss so don't forget to bring those Ss things!

Qq Week

We had circle time today and learned about the letter Qq and words that start with Qq such as queen and quilt. We reviewed the letters and sang the alphabet song. The kids have been keeping up well with the letters. We also went over how to sign all the letters including Qq. They are doing well considering the kids are so young this year. They do enjoy trying though and sometimes they get them right. We sang "5 Little Ducks" -
5 little ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said
Quack Quack Quack
4 little ducks came waddling back....
Briella and Presley both brought Q-tips for show and tell and Presley also brought a picture of her dog, Queenie. Grayden wore a quarterback shirt and brought a quarter. Good ideas for the letter Qq. We also colored our weekly pictures as usual and we made a question mark on paper for our letter this week. Next week we will be learning the letter Rr so bring those Rr things to share!

Pp is for Party

Today we threw a party for Briella! This week was Pp week and Presley and Addison came in all cozy in their pajamas. We usually have a pajama party for Pp week but Brenda and I forgot this year. That's okay though, we had a party to celebrate. Presley brought herself and Addy and Presley both wore pajamas and pigtails. Grayden brought the best thing to play with...a piano. He sure likes to rock out on it! We learned to sign the letter Pp and colored our weekly picture. We then celebrated with Pizza and had a party for Briella. Happy Birthday, Briella!

Oo Week

I know some of you forgot that it was "back to circle time" week. We did have circle time today. We reviewed our letters and the kids did a good job of keeping up with the sign language for the amount of time we have had off. They follow along really well. We also reviewed all our letters thus far and learned the letter Oo and some words that start with Oo such as otter and olives. We read three books today...Presley brought two good ones..."Oh the Places You Will Go" and "On The Farm" where the kids got to use little magnetic animals to follow along with the story. Grayden also brought a cute book called "Owen." Grayden also wore a shirt that had an owl on it. Briella brought an orange to show too. Good ideas! After we reviewed our letters we talked about Christmas and some of the things Santa brought them. It sounds like everyone had a great time being off with their families. We then made ovens and I tried to encourage the kids to draw their favorite food inside the oven. Some did, some just had fun coloring. Next week we will learn the letter Pp so don't forget to bring things that start with Pp. Have a good week!
