Letter K week started out with tracing our Letter K and talking about "k" words. We were sad to see Camilla move, but we are so happy Lynlee is in school with us now! She is a great addition!
We read Curious George Feeds the Animals to see what kind of "K" animals George would meet at the zoo. We found a koala bear, and a kangaroo! We spent some time talking about what makes kangaroos different from boys and girls. We discovered kangaroos have pouches, really long tails, and they up a lot.
Then we made kangaroo paper bag puppets (joey included!)
And then we went outside (to enjoy this amazing December weather!) with our very own kangaroo pouches to find letter K's out in the yard! I scattered letters A-K throughout the yard, and the kids were only allowed to put K in their pouch. It was a hit! And so cute to watch them get excited when they found the right letter, stick it in their pouch, and then hop away!
On day two of letter K, we created K's with fuzzies (Max was very excited and finished his while waiting for everyone to arrive)
Then we read the story of Teddy Koala Bear's Secret, about a Koala bear who lives in England, but takes a secret tunnel to Australia every night and meets up with his friends, a kangaroo and a kookaburra bird.
Our two last activities were sizing--matching up small, medium, and large kings with their small, medium and large crowns, and then also matching up shapes (circle, square, and triangle) on a letter K crown. Then snacks and outside to enjoy playing!
