Ff Week

This week we learned the letter Ff for frog and football. We reviewed our letters as we do each week and learned to sign the letter Ff in sign language. Addy and Reese brought flashlights to share, Karson wore a future football shirt, Sam wore a "One Fish, Two Fish" shirt and Max brought a football to share. We talked about the flag for Ff and did the Pledge. The kids are doing well with this! We colored our weekly Ff picture for our folders. We were busy with crafts today making a Fall frame and a frog to take home. Next week we will have our Halloween party and will be learning the letter Gg. We will be having circle time on Tuesday so please make arrangements for this. Please send your child's costume to put on and take off as some are very uncomfortable for them to wear all day. If you are interested in bringing a snack, drink or treat to put in the pinata please let Brenda know asap. Thanks and see you next week!

Ee Week

We learned the letter Ee and things that start with Ee such as elephant and egg. Addy and Reese brought little elephants, Karson brought an egg and Max brought a bear with big eyes. The kids colored their weekly pictures of Ee and learned to sign the letter Ee. We reviewed our letters thus far and how to sign the ones we have learned. They are doing well. We sang "Do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie them in a knot, can you tie them in a bow, can you throw them over your shoulder like a continental soldier, do your ears hang low???"
We then went to the kitchen to make elephants with wobbly eyes. We also made a spider to go on spider webs for Halloween time. The kids really enjoyed that. Next week we will learn the letter Ff so bring things that start with Ff! Last week the Child of the Month Aayla and this week our Child of the Month is Trevor. Learn about them and things they like on the information posted on the door.

Dd Week


This week we had circle time on Tuesday instead of Wednesday to accomodate an appointment Cindy had. We reviewed our letters and how to sign them and learned to sign the letter Dd and learned the sound Dd makes for doughnuts and dog. Sam brought a duck and a dog to share, Karson wore a Dallas Cowboys jersey, Max brought a dinosaur, Addy brought a Dalmation and a dog, Briella brought a drumstick and Reese brought a dolly. 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
repeat till no ducks come back.
No little Ducks went out to play
Over the hill and far away
Father duck said "quack quack quack"
and 5 little ducks came waddling back!
We also sang "Oh Where oh were has my little dog gone, oh where or where can he be, with his tail so short and his ears so long, oh where oh where can he be."
We did the Pledge of Allegiance and made a doghouse with a little doggy to go with it. The kids really enjoyed playing with them.
Next week we will have circle time Wednesday again and will learn the letter Ee so bring those Ee things!!!
