H is for…

H is for…

“Horse, House, Hippo, Hungry, Hot, Hat…” Those are just some of the words the kids rattled off when I asked if they could thing of something that started with the letter H.

Look at them practice both the Uppercase & Lowercase letters.

Abigail & Logan…

Deegan & Nikkya…

Saylar & Cannon…

Kaden & Addisyn…

Bennett & Evelyn…

After our worksheet I asked the kids what is black and yellow and goes bzzzzz? Of course these smart little tykes got it right off, that I was talking about a Bee. I asked why I would be taking about Bee’s when we were doing the letter H? It didn’t take them long to say Hive… I was very impressed. Then I asked them what is in a Honeybee’s Hive… HONEY!!! I can’t get anything part these smart little cookies.

So today for our craft. We made Houses…. Honeybee Hives, full of Honey combs. Didn’t they turn out so adorable?

         

For free time today, I was excited that most of the kids were so excited when I pulled the puzzles out. Cannon was so excited with himself when he finished his super hero puzzle.

Abigail had snack today. It was the cutest little  heart shaped pb&j sandwiches and cookies! The kids were over the top excited about the cute heart shaped sandwiches! THANKS Abigail!!! We are so glad you are in our class!

G’s & H’s

What a zoo it was today! Laughing… the kids must have had excellent weekends, because they came full of energy! I love it though, they make me laugh, and there energy is contagious so you just can’t help but be happy with them.

Grace got to take Mr. Spark home, and was so excited to share her stories with us…

1. Grace and Spark had a Dance Party.
2. Grace and Spark ate some phat boys together.
3. Spark got ready for basketball.
4. Took Spark to hard working store, and had a picnic there.
5. Spark and Grace helped mom make chocolate chip cookies.
6. Grace, Spark, Bennett and mommy took a walk to the creek.
7. Spark met Elle, Bennetts Elephant.
8. They watched Sandlot together.
9. Spark listened to Grace sing some Taylor Swift.
10. Grace and Spark helped mommy paint the bathroom.

Oh what a fabulous weekend they  had together. Spark is so lucky to have been able to go home with you Grace.

Before we stated, we did Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes… to get the wiggles out…and boy did they have a lot of them today!

We then talked about things that start with the letter G. They said things like, Goat, Ghost, Grace, and Go. Then we discussed the same thing with the letter H. Head, hat, hand and hello were what they came up with.

       

They all did excellent at writing the upper and lower case letter. I was very impressed!!!

Then it was more practice writing our G’s & H’s. I was working on proper technique with them. Making sure they look perfect. For the most part they all have these two letters down! Yeah!!!

 

I love watching them use scissors. They are getting so good at cutting on the lines. I love encouraging them along the way when they say they “I can’t” do that. I love to see the look on there face, and here the excited “I did it,” when they are done!!!

 

This was our craft today. It was perfect since it was a little bit of a zoo!

Aren’t they just so darling!!!

We introduced some new site words today; or, her, there, this, some. We repeated these a lot today. Using them in various sentences. Repetition is very important while learning something in such a short period of time.  Please continue to repeat these words, and practice them and the previous words with them. THANKS so much for you help.

I am grateful for my little Zoo, even on crazy days like today. These kids make me so happy. I love being a small part of there lives.

H is for HORSE

Today was a little wild, but so much fun. They all had a great deal of energy. That’s good though, because I had a BIG project planned.

After we learned how to write the letter “H” we made HORSES…yes we made stick horses. This was a HUGE project for one person and 5 kids, but it was so much fun!!!

Here they are stringing the main on the horses.

After the horses were finished we headed upstairs for snack. Taylor had it, and make it RED, WHITE and BLUE for Veteran’s day. Everyone completely enjoyed there jello.  Aren’t they just adorable? THANKS TAYLOR!!! (and Thanks so much Lori for the extra effort this took…they all just loved them).

Look at these amazing and unique horses…

After we made the horses, we talked about Soldier for Veteran's Day. After they colored their soldiers they decided that they WERE SOLDIERS and were riding their horses. I LOVE IT.

What a group of kids I have. They amaze me every time I get to see them.
