We worked on puzzles this morning. It sure kept everyone busy for a little while!

We learned the letter B today! Garrett brought the letter jar back with things I wouldn't have even thought of for the letter B; battery, billfold, ball, book, block, bear. Thanks for sharing those Garrett! We also made butterflies out of a folded B, glued buttons onto a B and colored the letter B.

The letter B song:
(Baby Bumble Bee) 

A Stick and then a bump, bump, makes big B!
Won't my Mommy be so proud of me!
A stick and then a bump, bump, makes big B!
Oops! It stung me!

A big stick, then a circle make small B!
Won't my mommy be so proud of me!
A big stick, then a circle make small B!
Oops! It stung me!

/b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, B!
Won't my mommy be so proud of me!
/b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, /b/, B!

August has almost come to an end! For some reason, it has seemed like a long month!! Today, we painted our apples red and we will finish them tomorrow, we also reviewed the letter A. We had some visitors this morning, Kendra & Riley came to visit with their mom, JoAnn for about an hour or so. Kendra will be joining our daycare starting next week thru November.

Breakfast: cereal, grapes

Lunch: chicken alfredo, broccoli, banana, garlic bread

Snack: string cheese & crackers

We took a walk around the barn this morning and fed the horses some hay. They sure loved us!

Fantastic Friday!

It sure worked good to sing our A song while working on writing our letter Aa's., "a mountain with a stick across the top" and "a circle with a stick right down"! We had some fantastic looking A's today and I'm sure they will continue to keep improving!

Gavin & Kendra playing in the sensory table (this week we had colored rice and alphabet letters)

Here they are doing the colored sleepy bears song! Still working on those colors with some of them! I just love it when they argue with me on a color! LOL! 

Breakfast: donuts, oranges
Lunch: chicken fries, french fries, watermellon
Snack: special k bars

Have a great weekend everyone!

We kinda had a lazy day today (I told Garrett we would have to make up for it tomorrow!) since I had to run to the Dr for lab this morning so the kids colored with Mike while I was gone. When I returned, we played outside until Brianna got off the bus from her first day of preschool! 

Breakfast: cereal, banana
Lunch: tuna hotdish, pears, peas, garlic bread
Snack: goldfish crackers

Letter A

Here is the kids singing their letter A song

Wednesday, August 25

The kids worked on lacing cards this morning while Alexis had her bottle. We glittered our name (worked on name recognition) then finished up circle time by playing with playdough! Oh and I can't forget singing the letter A song, the kids were so bummed that we didn't do it before I had them put their shoes on so we had to do it after we had our shoes on to go out! Whatever makes them happy!


Working on shaking that glitter... Shake it, Shake it!



Playing playdough!



Alexis loved her banana this morning! Nummm....

Breakfast: banana bread & grapes
Lunch: pizza boats, green beans, oranges
Snack: watermelon and crackers

Picture Day!

Letter A Day, August 24th

Today we learned about letter Aa. We tried out our new DVD's from Heidi Songs. We stamped the letter A on an alligator. Aylah brought home our letter jar and filled it with lots of things that start with the letter A... Thanks Aylah! Here is how the song goes that we learned today:

The A Song
(A Hunting We Will Go)

Oh, the A goes /a/, /a/, /a/!
The A goes /a/, /a/, /a/!

The big A is a mountain with a stick across like that!

Oh, the A goes /a/, /a/, /a/!
The A goes /a/, /a/, /a/!

The little A's a circle with a stick right after that!



Breakfast: cereal, grapes
Lunch: spaghetti, oranges, garlic bread
Snack: yogurt & animal crackers
