Ee Week

For circle time this week we learned the letter Ee for elephant and eggs. Konner brought an excavator, ET movie, earplugs and Horton Hears A Who (elephant). Max brought an eggplant and an E that he made. Briella brought an Eiffel tower necklace and Addy brought Elefun (which they had lots of fun playing) and Elmo. The kids each took turns picking plastic eggs from an egg carton to find a picture. We talked about the pictures and decided if it started with the letter Ee. We found that engine, egg, elephant, escalator, envelope and elf all started with the letter Ee. The kids also made Eggbert E. Egg puppet from an envelope to take home and of course, colored him for their folders. We sang "Do Your Ears Hang Low" and we also incorporated some Halloween songs- 5 Little Pumpkins, the Witch Song and Itsy Bitsy Spider (requested by Briella). We then made a pumpkin to take home as well. Next week we will be learning the letter Ff - for fish and we will be celebrating Dorothy's birthday next week as well. She has been here since this week last year! Her wish list will be on the door :)
Have a wonderful week! And don't forget those Ff things!
