It's almost unimaginable that we have completed the alphabet once again! Its doesn't seem possible that we could be another 26 weeks down the road and almost to 2013! Each day is so full of that the days, weeks and months simply melt into one another and here we are nearing another Thanksgiving. Our letter Z week was full of zebras, zig zags and zany fun! We cut, colored, painted, played, glued, glittered, and sang our way through. Pictured here was just one of our Z activities. We used our blue painter's tape to further reinforce the "Z" shape and then we painted our black cardboard "Z's" white. Once dried, we peeled the tape to reveal the black underneath. This gave the "Z" a zebra stipe from beginning to end. Some of our lessons are planned... |
At the end of one of our days after discussing the type of footprints a zebra makes we decided to make some "prints" of our own. The children discovered that if they colored their hands with the chalk and crawled across the floor their "prints" would appear just like a zebra's in the dirt. They squealed, "Look, Ms. Donna!" "We made prints!" By the end of this fun little lesson we had prints through the kitchen, the hall, living room, playroom, walls, windows and doors. Thank goodness for Windex! | We got out the golf tees to practice making zig zags in the playdough. They LOVED these and you could here a pin drop as they were very concentrated on making patterns, poking, adding and subtracting the tees. We also sang Happy Birthday MANY times as we added counted how many candles each child had placed on the "cake" they made. This became an excellent impromptu math lesson and a FUN way to practice using the words "add," "subtact," and "equals." |
What a funfilled week of Z! Can't believe it is time to start again with A. I think Logan started the Woolsey Academy on week "C". WOW - how much she has learned. LOVE everything you do EVERY day!!!!!!
