Time for T

Yesterday, during Letter Time the focus was on the Letter T!  The kids went on a letter scavenger hunt looking for letter T's that were hidden around the classroom. Then they made a tree craft on their tummies.


Letter Time ended with reading the alphabet book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Check out this animated version:

March is Food Month!

This month it's all about FOOD! The are lots of fun toys and activities for the kids to explore and play with. The highlights this month are the introduction of our very own grocery store, bakery and McDonalds! All three have been a huge success. We have also brought back our kitchen set, I have already been lucky enough to have been made pizza for breakfast by one of our kiddos!

 
 
 




We also have a variety of activities related to Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham! Some of the activities include:
- matching
- egg relay races
- rhyming words
- tic tac toe game

 
There has been lots of interest in the new sensory bins, particularly the St. Patrick themed rice bin!
 

 
 
 
Another fun addition to the classroom is the life sized version of the game Greedy Gorilla. When you feed the gorilla food he burps! This game is great for working on categories, requesting, receptive and expressive identification and turn taking.
