We've had so much fun this week incorporating Christmas in with our learning activities. We made patterns on peppermint sticks, practiced beginning sounds, putting letters in ABC order, and rhyming words using gingerbread men. These are only a few of the activities we've enjoyed this week. You will see in our slide show that we made volcanoes for the letter V. We made lava from corn syrup and food coloring. It was fun to squeeze it onto the paper volcanoes that we made. We also watched a volcano erupt using baking soda and vinegar. Hopefully this will help them remember letter V and its sound. We made cinnamon ornaments this week too. They made our classroom smell good and they look great on our Christmas tree! Our K4 class enjoyed a visit from Mrs. Shelley. She read a great book to us called Someday. We love Mrs. Shelley! The Ipads and Ipods are also a big hit in our class. We have been using them daily for letter writing practice, counting, and much more! Looking forward to another fun week of learning. Please note some important dates and reminders below.
