Vincent The Vampire Bat and The Letter V

Halloween is a great time to learn about the letter V too! There was a cute vampire on our door this morning and the children could read his speeech bubble as they walked in...."I am a vampire". Of course we had to read about bats and vampire bats. We found out they are not as scary as we thought! Can your child tell you what they learned? We found lots of other words that start with /v/ too. Grover has lots in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQb6gTJD7zA One of the favorite V words was volcano: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAiLobOIUTw And we can't forget the Story Bots: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNnVgNuagWM

W! What Fun!

We had a great time this week changing our names to names that started with W. Mrs. Hendry used her W wand and the children were great at substituting the first sound in their name. Wonderful! Our Zoophonics animal is Willie Weasel but since it is so close to Halloween we had to talk abot Wanda Witch too! Check ou this video; did you notice the weasel? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDJ0a_g-weU The children laughed at the antics of the letter W with Kermit The Frog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN_0HDXCyNs The Letter W was tricky getting away from the Detective. How did he get away? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0iLTufp_bk

Pattern Day in Kindergarten Friday!

We have had so much fun finding, extending and building patterns! It’s time to celebrate! Please wear or bring something that has a pattern to school Friday – a shirt, a pair of socks, maybe something for your hair….  If you can’t find something feel free to draw a picture. Here is a website with a patterning game to help you celebrate at home: http://funschool.kaboose.com/preschool/games/game_crazy_pattern_machine_...

Gordo Gorilla and The Letter G

Gordo Gorilla was hiding in the fancy G g bag! Ask your child what else was in there. Did they remember the gum? the Groovy girl with the gold necklace? the garbage can? the ghost with a guitar wearing glasses? Good for them! Check out the gorilla song that taught us interesting gorilla facts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3QkwLkkgUY We are going to learn about the word go tomorrow and watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PaKQ9dVk1U Don't feed them too many Gummy Bears or you may need to do this dance to wear it off!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hn61z3FlMQ I also read them a few stories with a ghost - Halloween is coming!

Terrific Turkeys!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope the little gobblers made it home with their turkey headbands intact!

The Firemen Came to Visit!

Posted: October 8, 2013

The children learned all about fire safety from actual firemen today! They saw fireman Jeff in his full suit and face mask so they will not be scared if he comes to help them.

Bubble Blowing Bonanza!

Posted: October 7, 2013

It's B day - a perfect day to blow bubbles! We blew a bubble when we felt our lips pop for words like: bear, boy, basket, bike....How many more /b/ words can you think of? With the wet pavement today the bubbles didn't even burst when they hit the ground!

K is OK!

The Kindergarten Kids heard lots of /k/ words - kangaroo, kitten, kite, kettle, kitchen.... while we learned about kangaroos.
