Jj Week

This week was Jj wek and we reviewed all our letters. The kids are doing better but you should practice at home as well. We learned words that start with Jj such as jester, jelly beans and jar. Presley brought jewelry, Addy brought baby Jesus and Caedon brought a jar. I need to also make note that Briella brought an ice cream cone last week for Ii but got left out of our weekly update. Sorry, Briella. We sang some Jj songs..."Joy to the World," "Jesus Loves Me," and "5 Little Monkeys Jumpin on the bed." They enjoyed those songs...some were new but we had fun. We also did our Pledge of Allegiance and headed to the table to make our Jj craft. We made a jacket that opens to show many Jj words. We then made our turkeys for our Thanksgiving craft and the kids enjoyed filling them with candy! We again, talked about the first Thanksgiving and shared what we were thankful for. Next week we will not be having circle time but the following week we will learn the letter Kk so bring those Kk things! In the meantime, have a very Happy Thanksgiving. Please know we are thankful for your child and the individuality they bring to Brenda's home each week. We love them all!

Ii Week

This week was Ii week and we learned words starting with Ii such as igloo, ice cream and insect. Presley brought a cool book called "Inch by Inch" that we read. Konner also brought an Indy race car and an iguana. Caedon brought an Ii from Leapfrog that actually said what Ii sounds like. Very cool! We sang "Itsy Bitsy Spider" a few time and did our Pledge of Allegiance. We got to discuss Thanksgiving again and talked about the pilgrims and Indians. The kids had lots of fun making Indian Headresses for Ii! Next week we will learn the letter Jj so bring those Jj things!!!

Hh Week

This week we learned the letter Hh as well as reviewed all our letters. We learned some words that begin with Hh - hog and hat. The kids brought things that started with Hh. Caedon brought a Halloween toy, Addy brought a horse, Presley brought a hippo, Karson brought a horse and Konner brought the Hulk. Great ideas. We sang "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "The Bunny Hop" - which we had to do several dozens of times (haha). We also did the Pledge of Allegiance and the kids are doing good on memorizing this! We made hats to coordinate with Thanksgiving and talked about the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims. Look for us to incorporate other crafts for the holiday as we talk about this each week! The kids also finished their fall picture crafts. Some were harder to get good photos than others...but we hope you liked them! Next week we will learn the letter Ii so bring those Ii things!!!! See you then!
