Letter 'G' and Necklaces

This past week we worked on the letter 'G'. One of the highlights of every week is putting together the alphabet page for whatever letter we are working on. This week the kids got to put green scraps of paper on their 'G' alphabet page (because green starts with 'g'). They then cut out picture that start with the 'g' sound and glued them to the paper, as well. As usual, this is quite the messy project as we work to improve cutting and gluing skills...I am seeing progress, though! The kids also got to make a human 'G', which is also a favorite activity!

We also talked about the first Thanksgiving this past week. On Tuesday we focused more on the pilgrims and on Thursday we focused more on the Native Americans. In the book we read the Indians wore necklaces. The kids got to make a necklace on Thursday, just like the Indians had in their story. This was probably the highlight of the week. The kids loved this project! I am sure you had a chance to see their completed look!

Next week we will be talking about the letter 'H' and will be doing some Thanksgiving activities.

Weekly Update

As you already know, we had a Halloween party at school on Thursday. I have never seen such cute and creative costumes! We had everything from cowgirls to puppies and kitties, princesses to dragons, transformers to Thomas the Train, superheroes to storybook characters, and much more! I hope your kids had fun at the Halloween party...I think they did.

In case they your kids didn't tell you, here is what we did last week:

Tuesday: The kids were introduced to the letter 'E'. The kids did their 'E' alphabet page, and got to glue cut-up pieces of envelopes to their capital letter 'E' and their lower-case letter 'e'. We read the book "Ten Timid Ghosts" and then made our own ten timid ghosts on a piece of paper. Not only was this fun for the kids, but it provided an opportunity to practice our counting! The kids also turned pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns by gluing on eyes, a nose, and a mouth. They were practicing naming shapes in this activity, and probably didn't even realize it!

Thursday: As I already mentioned, we had our Halloween party on Thursday. We made flying ghosts out of paper and streamers, played pin the stem on the pumpkin, and had a costume parade (which I thought was cute!). I hope your kids had fun!
