Week of 9/13 - 9/16

Hi Bumblebees,
We started the alphabet this week and know all about the letter A! We also studied and learned about our 5 senses and how they work! Enjoy the pictures.

Reading Chester's journal about his fun weekend with Riley!
It's all about the letter A this week!
Bumblebee, Bumblebee, What do you hear?
Each week we will be looking at items that begin with the letter for that week, and working together to write a class list of words that begin with that letter!
The pictures your child brings in the letter envelope each week go onto our "letter of the week" poster!
Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom! Is there enough room for all the A's at the top of the tree?
Finding and circling just the A's!
We met our new friend Alphabet Al this week who taught us the A word active!
Yellow Day in chapel!
Yellow Day show-and-tell!

Yellow hunt around our room!
Our "letter book" of the week was There's an Alligator Under my Bed by Mercer Mayer. Your kids loved this book! Lauren took our ABC binder home and found us more words that start with A!
Using our 5 senses to hear, see, smell, feel, and taste popcorn! Watching it pop out of the air popper was so much fun!
What would you do if there was an alligator under your bed?
Reviewing colors in Spanish with Mrs. Keren
Practicing big A and little a
Do you have the letter A or a hiding in your name?
Using our sense of touch to examine different textures
Playing our 5 senses game. Fun....and learning at the same time!
