Tt is for Trains!

Tt is for train!  And some darn cute trains at that :)!!  The kids had fun making these...I loved that they wanted to add smoke and clouds and little things to attach their cars and people.  I love that they thought about things like that.  That was on their doings.  I just provided tracks and paper to make cars and wheels!

So the month of April we are trying really hard to get our names down perfect!!  We have these writing papers that are a 5 week series.  Each week it has different things for the kids to follow and it helps them with forming letters.  In years past this is kind a boring for the kids :)!  So this year I decided to jazz it up a bit and make this little board.  Each worksheet that they do they get a sticker and when they reach the purple and green box they earn a treat!!  For the kids that are still struggling with writing their names I laminated each of their names and when they trace their names perfectly they can earn another sticker!  For those that have it down, I wrote their name on lines paper and laminated it and they will be working on writing it on the line!

Some fun at free time....

Week 23: Tt is for Tissue paper

Kids love to rip stuff!! Give them lots of tissue paper and tell me they can tear it up as much as they want and they are in heaven...

We had fun playing with model clay today, there was lots of worm families created and one of the kids even spelled out my name for me...CUTE!

This month we'll be talking about rain! We talked about what rain is good for and will be talking about how it is created and why it is created.  Today we got out our rain packet, which included matching, finishing the patterns, matching colors to their words and little puzzles.  It's a fun little unit!

I hope your little beans are growing and looking good :)!!

PS- So there is a slight change in our schedule.  I was off a week on Easter...? So next week we will do Letter Uu, then Easter, then Vv.  Just a small change for those of you that like to follow along and leave letter notes in your kids' lunch box...LOVE IT!!

Week 22 Updates: Tt is for Turtles

The sun is out and my spirits are high :)!  What is it about that big yellow thing in the sky that makes us all just smile...kids included!! They were just buzzing with excitement today, I loved it!

We had a fun week with turtles.  We even learned how to spell turtle...I think we all almost have it down! I'm sorry if the song is forever stuck in your head...if it's any consolation I too have sung it probably 100 times this week!!
