February 24-28 (Letters Bb and Tt)

Monday:  Dom’s group was introduced to their letter of the week which is Tt.  They watched the Tt video, read books that began with the letter Tt, and went on a treasure hunt outside.  Lizzie’s group (which Mr. Nick led that day) made the Bb box, watched the Bb video, and brainstormed words that begin with the letter Bb. 

We enjoyed yoga and centers in the afternoon.

Tuesday:  Dom’s group discussed dinosaurs and bugs that begin with the letter Tt, went through their Tt bag, and practiced writing the letter Tt.  Lizzie’s group went through the Bb box, practiced writing their names with dry erase markers, then built buildings with blocks.  Kinder Blossom brainstormed words that begin with Bb, made their Bb box, and cleaned Little Dragon’s cage. 

This afternoon during circle time Miss Lizzie and Arielle told the Sunflowers all about their trips.  Then we enjoyed centers and yoga.

Wednesday:  We started our day off inside due to the weather.  We played with play-doh, worked in the Construction center, worked on several different art projects and read many books together. 

Today Dom’s group made Tt’s using tire tracks and tape.  They also wrote in their notebooks, and named their favorite Tt words.  Lizzie’s group Practiced writing the letter Bb in their binders. (Feel free to ask your Sprout to show you their writing! They know where we keep our binders)  We then painted butterflies and wrote in our journals.  Kinder Blossom also practiced writing the letter Bb on worksheets, they also colored a map of Texas and made cards. 

This afternoon we enjoyed Spanish with Miss Daphne, she read us a story in Spanish on her Ipad, which the kiddos loved!

Thursday:  This morning during outside time we had a funeral for the Toddler’s hermit crab Bruno.  We all gathered around the garden to say our goodbyes, sang songs about love while Mrs. Jackie buried him.  We will all miss you Bruno!

During small groups Dom’s group practiced putting on their socks, shoes, and jackets.  Lizzie’s group used teamwork to put together a number puzzle.  Then read a story and picked out all the words that began with the letter Bb.  Kinder Blossom played a math game “How many days do you go to school?”

This afternoon during Spanish we bowled on the deck!  It was a blast!

Friday:  This beautiful Friday was jam packed with awesome activites outside!  We had an absolute blast dancing in the sunshine! What an awesome way to start off our day.  For snack Miss Toni led a special AM cooking project; we made smoothies outside with blueberries, bananas and strawberries. We also had lunch outside.  After nap we headed out to the deck to play with bubbles and eat cupcakes to celebrate Miya’s 4th birthday!  We then went to the backyard for our PM cooking project with Chef Mike where we made tzatzaki.  The kiddos all really enjoyed it!

What a great end to an even better week!

Much love, Lizzie
