Kicking with the Letter K

Kayo Kangaroo gives a little kick when he hears the sound for the letter K. Your child may enjoy telling you some words that start with Kayo's sound as they give a kick. They were very attentive when they had a karate demonstration showing them how to kick in style! Rest assured we talked about saving those kicks for karate class! If they need reminders about the K things we kicked for you may want to check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyFJHdBDVfk Stand back!

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.

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.
