E is for...

E is for...

 

This week we are discussing the letter Ee.  We practiced writing the letter E and then went on a little walk to find other items that start with the letter E. 

 We found an engine and envelope while in the house.  We went outside and found eggs in the chicken coop.

 In the garden we found egg plant.

 On our second day we made an elephant out of the letter E and read the story, "Horton Hears a Who."

Fire Station Field Trip Oct. 8, 2014

Field trips are the best part of going to school!

This past week we went to a Fire Station open house where we learned about fire safety and had popcorn and cotton candy!

 They all waited patiently for their turn to go through the smoke house.

 While in the smoke house they learned many great things about being safe.  They learned to not play with hazardous chemicals under the sink and not to touch hot stoves and to be careful if a handle on a pot is sticking out.  They also learned to crawl on the floor under the smoke during a fire and to touch the door with the back of their hand to make sure the door isn't hot so they know it is safe to go through the door.

 They were also able to explore a vehicle that carries supplies during emergencies.

 

These are a few pictures that I had taken.  I would love to see other pictures that anyone else may have taken.



The letter C, before D 😊

Letter C

Two weeks ago, we went over the letter C. The kids had fun coloring the letter C and then they had to go find a picture that matched there word. 

After they colored, they had some snacks and we ended our morning with chalk. 

On Thursday, the kids colored some clowns and I read them a Circus book. They loved all of fun pages in the book and loved all the fun colors. We then had snack time and then we all helped stack some cups. They were having way too much fun with the cups, and they came up with a game of their own. They made a really long snake with the cups and they hopped and jump over their snake. 

They had fun!!!

The Letter "Dd"

We had fun this week.

On Tuesday we reviewed the letters we had already learned looking for the letters and then pictures that went along with each letter. 

Then we learned about the letter D.We talked about things like dressed and dinosaurs, Daddy, and dancing.

 We even danced with a daddy. 

On Thursday we went on a mini field trip. We took a quick trip to Nielsen Grove park and saw the ducks around the pond we even saw a dog jump and make the ducks fly.

After playing at the playground for a little bit 

we went to Krispy Kreme and watched how they make donuts. 

We even got to taste the warm ones. 

They were so YUMMY!
