Zz Week

We finished off our letters today with Zz for zebra!!! We reviewed all our letters...going over them by sight and giving a word that began with the letter. The kids did very well!! We learned about Zz and the sound it makes. Konner brought a zebra for circle time and Presley and Addison and Caedon all wore zippers on their pants for Zz. Little Reese was so excited to hold the flag for our Pledge of Allegiance today since we celebrated her first birthday. The kids then made a zoo pull through page with Zz words on it. They are all excited to be finished with the letters but next week we will be working on addresses, shapes, colors and numbers. Have a great week and happy birthday, Reese!

Yy Week

This week we did Yy and reviewed our letters as usual. We learned words that start with Yy such as yellow and yarn. Presley and Addy brought Yogi Bear videos to watch. Karson brought a Yankees hat and Konner brought a yellow pencil. Caedon brought a yellow submarine. All good ideas. We sang "If You're Happy and You Know It" and we also did our Pledge. After we did circle time we made yaks with yellow yarn. Next week we will be learning the letter Zz so bring those Zz things!! Have a great week!!!

Xx Week

This week is always a hard week because not many words begin with Xx besides X-Ray. We reviewed our letters as always and did the Pledge. The kids were a little rusty but they came through and we sang our alphabet song. Konner brought an excavator to show and we talked about x-ray vision and words that have x in them such as fox, six and box. We made a craft with all those words as well. Next week is Yy week. A little easier so bring those Yy things!! I hope everyone had a nice break and a good Easter. Only a few more weeks left of circle time. After we finish the letters we will start working on all the numbers and shapes and colors. Not necessarily one at a time but we will finish off with those. Have a great week!
