Purple and Jj Week

We reviewed all our colors and learned the Purple song:
(Sung to Camptown Races)
P U R P L E
Purple, Purple
P U R P L E
Purple's what that spells.
Purple grapes on the vine.
Purple Kool Aid's fine.
P U R P L E
Purples' what that spells!
We also learned Jj for jester and jelly beans.  After reviewing our letters again we shared things we brought for Jj.  Trevor brought a jaguar, Sam brought a movie about a jaguar to watch and Reese brought Jingle Bells.  We sang Jingle Bells with the jingle bells too!
The kids colored their pictures and we made Jackets with Jj items inside! 
Next week we will learn the letter Kk so bring those Kk things!

Ii week

We went ahead and did a letter this week...Ii for igloo and insect and ice cream.  Ayla brought a cute rabbit with icecream on his belly, Max brought Italian Seasoning, Reese brought an Indian and Trevor brought an iguana.  Great ideas!  We sang "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," reviewed our letters, sang the alphabet song and did our Pledge of Allegiance.  The kids then made a little Ii craft and we made our turkey hats for Thanksgiving.  Next week we will learn the letter Jj so bring those Jj things!

Hh Week

We learned the letter Hh this week for hog and hat.  Sam brought hockey sticks, a hocky puck and honey.  Trevor brought hockey men and enjoyed telling us about his team playing at the "Ice Box."  Max brought a Santa hat and Reese brought something extra special...her hamsters!  Teddy and Charlie were our visitors at circle time today.  All the kids got to pet the hamsters and we watched them run on their wheel.  We also did the Pledge of Allegiance and went straight into making our crafts.  We finished our turkeys and we also made hats for Thanksgiving and Hh.  Pilgrim hats that is.  We were Pilgrims today.  We will be taking the week off next week for Thanksgiving but the week after we will learn the letter Ii and the color orange so bring those orange things and things that start with Ii.  Until then, we are sooo thankful for your children and their love of circle time.  We hope you and your families have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Gg and Green Week

This week was busy.  We reviewed our letters and learned Gg for goat and guitar.  Sam brought 5 goats and a gazelle, while Max and Reese both brought a goose for show and tell.  Good ideas!  Sam also brought his goats in a green box.  Our color of the week - green.  We sang the Green song as well.
(Tune of Bingo)
There is a color we all know.
Can you guess what it is?
G R E E N, G R E E N, G R E E N
That's how you spell green.
Grass and leaves and treas are green.
And grasshoppers are green, too.
G R E E N, G R E E N, G R E E N
I like green, don't you?

We read Clifford's Thanksgiving Visit and made our crafts.  We made a garage with many Gg words and we also made a ghost sucker.  The kids started making Thanksgiving crafts by making our little marshmallow turkeys to be taken home later in the week. 
Next week we will learn the letter Hh.  Bring those Hh things!  See you then!

Ff Week

This week we learned Ff for frog and football.  The kids brought good things for Ff.  Sam brought a bunch of first basemen, Reese and Ayla brought frogs, Trevor brought a firetruck and Max brought a flying monkey.  We did the Pledge of Allegiance so everyone could hold the flag since Flag starts with Ff.  We also made cute little fish bowls with Ff words. 
Next week we will learn the letter Gg and the color Green. So bring those things that start with Gg and anything green.
