Bb is for Bugs

We made bugs, sang bug songs, did bug math and made bubbles...

Here we are making bubbles! It's was a simple vinager and baking soda mixture and then we added food coloring just to make it pretty :)!

Then we tried it again to see if it could blow up our black balloon! It worked and it was pretty cool...the kids thought it was pretty stinky though :)!! 

 The the incy wincy spider, went up the water spout...

 And here are out bug rocks...SO CUTE and super fun!!

Then here was our number 10 page from our number book, September was the number 10.  Each month we work on a different number and then when we are all done we will have a little book of numbers to take home.

Week 4: Bb is for Band-aid

Week 4, already? We are having so much fun!  We talked about the letter Bb this week. We made and played things that started with the letter Bb!  Each Tuesday we will be making a letter like our Apple stamp "Aa" and our Band-aid "Bb", if you would like to start a little binder with all of them, at the end of the year you would have a great little ABC book.  You can punch holes in them or get plastic page protectors and slide them in each week...just an idea.  I happen to have 10 or so extra binders that are taking up garage space if you don't have an extra one laying around, I'd be happy to donate. Just let me know on Tuesday!

Free time...playing games and making friends :)

Continuing on our "about me" theme this month...our feeling puppets!

Here are the words to go along with our puppets...a kind of extended version to If Your Happy & You Know, think of it as the hidden track :)!

If your mad and you know if stomp your feet,
If your mad and you know if stomp your feet,
If your mad and you know it, then your face will really show it,
if your mad and you know it stomp your feet!

If your excited and you know it give a gasp...etc.

If your tired and you know give a yawn...etc.

If your sad and you know it say boo-hoo...etc.

If your happy and you know clap your hands...etc.

Week 5 highlights: B is for Brown Bear

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Is the perfect book to work on colors with!  We made these great books, where we had to match up the words to the colors.  I found these printables from an old curriculum folder that was going to be thrown out with all the schools closing.  A nice friend saved it for me and it has given me some great ideas for the year!  I put a small colored line on each animal and underlined each word with the color and they went from there.  They colored all the animals the right color, then they cut them all out, then glued them into their book.  Which I admit was not the best idea.  I should have broken this up into two days. A coloring, matching, cutting and gluing activity was a little much for one sitting!  But they all finished with very little help, I was proud!

I found some great fine motor/color activities online (I'd tell you where, but my Pinterest preschool board deleted so I have not idea where they came from, but they weren't my own!  (Yes you heard that right! DELETED!! GONE!! HOURS OF LESSON PLANS VANISHED INTO CYBERSPACE!!)

I will post later our adorable Brown Bears we made today as soon as I get them on my computer...I get to go hop on an airplane, by myself! Without children!  I think I will feel lost! And good luck daddy :)!!

OK, as promised here's the brown bears:
