"A" Week

We were very busy this week. We had chapel for the first time and our class did a terrific job listening and singing along. We emphasized how special we are and we did a lot of work with the letter "A".  I was picture crazy this week, enjoy!

"A" is for apple printing, our first addition to our Jumbo Alphabet Gallery

Making airplanes out of our scrap paper

Proud of his airplane!

I was surprised at how much time the kids spent at the sensory table this week: scrap paper and scissors! Who knew?!? It was excellent cutting practice for them.

Categorizing animals that spend most of their time in land, water, or air. 

Our shape for this month is the circle. I gathered a plethora of circular objects for them to print with and they had a ball!

This project involved matching up alphabet stickers on the letters printed on a cardboard tube; this proved to be pretty tricky but I was impressed with how long many of them really stuck with it.

Throwing circle bean bags through our (somewhat) circular hula hoop. I guess O was giving some good instructions :)

Reading Alphabet Rescue - such good listeners!

Some "A" practice: separating upper and lowercase and everyone gave their letter writing a shot on the marker board.

We had an amazingly fun dance party to celebrate the rain! 

More dancers!

Last activity of the week, putting ant and apple stickers  on the lines of our letter "A"s
