Exciting Letter X!

Xavier Fox is our Zoophonics animal for the letter X. We could not find many words that start with X, but we could write some with X at the end! Ask your child to spell fox, box, fix, six, ax, and ox - I bet they can do it! Challenge them with the word EXIT. We did watch a cool video of a fox pouncing on its prey: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP15zlyra3c And some silly foxes jumping on a trampoline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8xJtH6UcQY This man on Sesame Street had the same problem we did -finding words that start with x: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rOUYaQ6a0g On Monday we will read Rosie's Walk. I want the children to notice that the fox is very sly and always wants to eat things like chickens and gingerbread!

Counting to 5!

We have been counting and acting out counting songs with our classmates and our fingers. Here are a few you may want to check out at home: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUPxmO9Eyug http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L6e0mwbGXw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG6GXdUOR_Y See if your child can count how many are gone; how many are left; and how many there are altogether.

Ellie Elephant and the Harworking Letter E e!

We have seen the letter e everywhere this week! Our Zoophonics animal is Ellie Elephant so we read elephant information books and watched a few video clips to learn about these enormous animals. We wished we lived close to the zoo so we could ride on an elephant (like Mrs. Hendry and her granddaughter Annabelle did!). Here is the link for the E Story Bot song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2q2mq5KOmo And Ellie's friend Eddie's egg song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXcpYuhtPz8 We stomped our feet and swung our "trunks" to this Hap Palmer Elephant song video. You may want to check it out with your child: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSsDbneWFJ8

The Letter U - Umber Umbrella Bird!

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...
