Counting 1-2-3

We have been practicing making our numerals to 3. We are really good at counting that high but we like to take a break and watch these counting videos. The "Counting Crows": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llezjMibxp4 The Clumsy Baker videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXnxTbCECjw&list=PL6DB1240B37018C21 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmfSEuq1F3w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUqwzttQ3wQ

Umber Umbrella Bird and the Letter U

Did you know there really are Umbrella Birds?! Check out these videos: An actual Umbrella Bird: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZVocLe8kBs The Umbrella Bird song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkz-nlN5kM8         We learned that the Letter U is a "Hard Worker" - it makes 2 sounds - the sound at the start of umbrella and its letter name. Hear them both when the Story Bots sing "Unstoppable U": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCwiFQh3BZk We used the letter U in our "magic word maker" and we made and read some of these words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lyXMgkk9E&list=PLe5MVpQEpecY5uygy1tYsDM...

Hooray for the Letter H!

We had a great time with the letter H! Thanks for sending them with hearts, horses and letter h's on their clothing! Here are the links the children wanted you to know about: Story Bots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk5M7jITfIU I am h-a-p-p-y song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV0CblTeRzs How to make a paper hat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0oGg7It0BM Sesame Street H videos (vintage but hilarious!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Pwt-OqNwE&list=PLA260546E06C85159 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alEz1TWLJXU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiawwoDk64c

Chicken Counting Fun!

We have been doing lots of counting in math class lately. The children love this song - Chicken counting! Can you guess that we also noticed that chicken starts with that /ch/ sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REAXGhFJcXQ

C is for Cookie - That's Good enough For Me!

How could I resist the classic Cookie Monster song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw and the Story Bots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDnzj88O6aQ We practiced spelling cat and we tried car too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frRcDMGdTWM But be careful! we found out that C is a copycat letter! It copies Kayo Kangaroo's /k/ sound but it also copies Sammy Snake's /s/ sound! And it makes a different sound when it is with the letter h, in words like chair, check, cheek...can you think of more? Tricky!

O is for Octopus!

Take a look at the octopus video we watched because Ollie Octopus is our Zoophonics O animal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH0JNSIrBA4 Here is the Story Bots Letter O link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0LOjbDKvq4 And Sesame Street's "Would you like to buy an O?" that reminded us about the two sounds for O: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml6Yqu-spnM Did your child tell you about the delicious oatmeal muffins Liam's mom made us? Yum! The children are hearing letters in more places than just the start of words too. That Ollie Octopus was in the middle of words like Mom and dog. They are starting to blend sounds to make words both orally and by making the sounds of the letters they see. So smart!
