Uu Week

This week was Uu week. Tuesday Brenda did circle time with the kids and let the kids color their weekly pictures. Presley brought Under the Sea books that they really loved reading. Today we reviewed our letters - signing them also. Not bad. We talked about things that start with Uu such as upside down, unicorn and umbrella. We then made our craft...an umbrella and the kids drew raindrops to finish it off. Next week we will be learning the letter Vv. Almost done with circle time...only a few letters left. We will continue circle time after the letters by working on colors and numbers. Thanks and have a great week!

Valentine's Day and Tt Week

For Valentine's Day last we celebrated with a fun party for the kids on Thursday. We made special bags for the Valentine's Day cards. The kids also made a cute little Valentine's pictures. Thanks to Shannon (Briella) for the yummy Red Velvet cake, Sherri (Katie) for the juice, and Sarah (Konner and Karson) for the cookies. The kids enjoyed passing out their goodies in the bags and had a great time eating all the yummy treats!

We have to apologize - these past few weeks have been crazy with snow days and Valentine's Day, etc. We just haven't been able to stay on a good schedule. We did learn the letter Tt today. We learned to sign it as well. The kids talked about things that start with Tt such as tiger and teddy bear. Grayden brought a very cool transformer and many Thomas the trains that start with Tt - Toad, Thomas, Toby and Trevor. Presley and Addy dressed as twins yesterday and Presley brought a couple of tractors too. The kids reviewed our letters and we reviewed how to sign them all. Not bad for having such a break between circle time days. The kids sang the alphabet song and we also sang "Mr. Turkey" as we made turkeys (out of our hands) for craft time.
Mr. Turkey
Mr. Turkey
Are you getting nice and fat,
We eat you at Thanksgiving,
What do you think of that!
Next week we will continue with the letter Uu. We usually do circle time on Tuesdays but sometimes do it on Wednesdays so if the kids bring something, they can always leave it in their cubby on Tuesday if we don't do circle time then. Thanks and have a great week!

Ss Week

Today we learned the letter Ss and some words that start with Ss such as snake and sailboat. Presley brought a neat book called "Snow Day, Hooray" - about Hello Kitty and the kids loved it. She also brought skibo from Jo Jo. Briella brought a seal. Grayden brought a Scooby Doo video and also wore a spiderman shirt. Grayden also brought cereal straws for everyone. Thanks Grayden! Katie brought a Scooby Doo letter book as well. We had fun singing for Ss songs such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," "Itsy Bitsy Spider," and "Frosty the Snowman." We made a picture of a snowman with a sled for our craft and colored our weekly pictures. Next week is Valentine's Day week. Here are the kids for Valentine's cards:

Grayden
Konner

We will hand out Valentine's on Tuesday for circle time day and not do a letter next week.
Until then, have a great week.
