Thanksgiving Turkey

Happy Thanksgiving! We had lots of fun reading stories and saying rhymes about turkeys escaping from Thanksgivng dinner. Can you guess we talked about the letter T this week? We also sang along with Raffi to "Thanks A Lot" and talked about the things we are thankful for. Family and pets ranked high. If you wish to sing the song, you can find it on You Tube - just look for Raffi and "Thanks A Lot". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7T5KMmE5uo

Penquins, Pigs and Pennies

Peewee Penquin and Penelope Pig have made our lips POP! this week! The children have been feeling the puff of air when they named things from Peewee's Mystery P Bag. Ask them to tell you some of the things that Peewee collected. Did you find a penny in their pocket? Ask them how it got there. The children were all ears for the story of the 3 Little Pigs. They helped with the "chinny, chin, chin" and "huffing and puffing" parts.

Fun With the Letter F!

We have met Francy Fish! She is helping us hear the /f/ sound that we feel when our teeth are on our upper lip and air comes out. Ask your child to sing about Farmer Brown and the 5 Green Apples. He/she might also tell you what the frog had for lunch in one of our stories. We had fun making Fruit Loop necklaces - your child might like to do this at home too. Try making a pattern with the colours.

Silly Letter S!

Today we learned about the letter S. We read  the book Silly Sally by Audrey Wood and sang "Shake My Sillies Out!" with Raffi. We made our mouth go "SSSS" while we moved our arm like Sammy Snake. We helped Sammy Snake fill his sock on the Smartboard too. Ask your child which word they said to earn their Smartie and where Sillly Sally was going. Ssssooo much fun! Don't forget the Starfall site has more fun for each letter.
