We had a terrific time tapping our teeth with our tongue for the letter t! We ate Teddy Grahams (toes, tummies and even their teeth), made Timmy Tiger puppets, and sang our T-shirt song. I hope your child could explain about the masking tape T when they got home! The children are even able to hear the /t/ sound in the middle and at the end of words! Great ears! You may want to make time for T with these videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABaWlQgzh90 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPHaID7o_5U With Thanksgiving getting close we also heard a  funny story about turkeys. Ask your child what the turkeys did to trick the farmers.

With all those apples around this week we had to do the letter A! The Allie Alligator puppet was a favorite craft. This song really helps us with the /a/ sound that the letter A and Allie Alligator make: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tif2a8vXeAA Here is the Hooray for A Story Bots link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3guwWkqlaGc Hardworking Letter A also makes the sound of its letter name - A as in acorn. Here is a link to our funny acorn song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF5qJBTSQK4

What a beautiful day for our Terry Fox Walk! Here a few pictures - we were a bit better at posing at the start of the walk than later with the sun and the bugs.

We had a great day at the apple farm! We started with a hay ride and then we listened to Heidi tell us all about apple trees and apples. Ask your child about the spaghetti and meatball tree - that is the tree from which we picked apples. And did you know that McAllister's farm also grows pumpkins,...
Peewee Penguin had a mystery P bag in our room! We found los of P things in it - pennies, a purse, Peter Pan, Pooh Bear, pink paper, a pencil, a pen, a pine cone, popcorn and pretzels. Mrs. Hendry found some things in the garden that started with P too - a pumpkin, a potato and a parsnip! Our lips were popping all day! If you want that popping feeling say the /p/ words in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl_D_N1Tsic Here is a fun penguin song that we watched too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UtNr0dwn20 We also enjoyed listening to the story of the three Little Pigs and then acting it out. Maybe your child will want to huff and puff at home too!

Rhyming is an important pre-reading skill but it is also lots of fun! We have been rhyming since the first day of kindergarten - listening to rhyming stories, playing rhyming games and singing rhyming songs. Here are links to two versions of our newest song, Down By the Bay : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE6xzCI-TwE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CSxGHve60E How many silly verses can you and your child create? This link is for an interactive site where your child can have some more rhyming fun: http://www.professorgarfield.org/Phonemics/introCharacters.html

We had a fantastic fun this week finding things that started with the letter F f ! Francy Fish is the Zoophonics animal that starts with /f/. Your child may want to show you how they can draw a fish. We noticed that our bodies had things that started with F: fingers, feet and face. We found /f/ foods in our snacks: Fruit and fish. We heard F words as we did our calendar: four, five and Friday.   Listen to the Story Bots; they found some /f/ words too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8e_Oh314Ds Frog also starts with F so we read about how tadpoles turn into frogs and watched Kermit dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyGGvpUoF6k

Silly Sammy Snake came to our class today! He was hiding in an S sack with lots of things that start with S -even a skunk! We watched this video of Sammy too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpvnvudDGMw The Story Bots said Yes to S! in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koZhWlZh4b8 Don't forget to stay home on S days: Saturday and Sunday. Have a great weekend!

The children are getting to know the Zoophonics animals that are helping them learn about the letters and sounds. Check out the link to the song we have been singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEfSjc9JIko Here is another fun alphabet song that we have been practicing with our Zoophonics actions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1H-LTV4pkU Maybe your child can teach you too! Have fun!

The children heard lots of words that start with m-m-m-m when they watched these videos. See how many you can name when the video is over. Maybe you can find a mini marshmallow to eat for each M word? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk8zEeD47qw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGbncOU3qlc
