Wee School Letter U: We started off our day reading Clorinda Takes Flight by Robert Kinerk. This is a fun book about a cow who wants to fly, and so she builds all sorts of flying contraptions. They all fall apart except the hot air balloon, which gets them across the ocean to visit the Queen, and then back again to their farm. We had lots of fun picking out all the things in the book that go Up--an airplane, helicopter, etc.
Then we sat down for a thinking activity: we had to separate the pictures of things that go Up and things that go Under. The kiddos did great--some of the "Under" things were a little abstract...(grass grows Under our feet, a chair goes Under the table, we sleep Under the blankets, etc.)
Then we played Run Under the Broom (otherwise known as limbo...haha)
We finished off day 1 with the alphabet puzzle review. The girls were really into finishing the puzzle!
Day 2 of letter U we took a field trip to the UPS plant (it helps to know someone on the inside)! We had a UPS scavenger hunt: we had to find a UPS truck, UPS hat, box, conveyer belt, etc. The managers very graciously took us on a tour, showed us the boxes, turned on the conveyer belt, and we got to go in a truck and everyone got to honk the horn!
we even got to line up holding safety signs!
