The Letter B

Arts & Crafts:
Watercoloring Coffee Filters to make Beautiful Butterflies!


Free Play: Manipulatives, building with blocks

Game/Gross Motor Skills: Bouncing a Balloon, while the class sang, 
"This is how we bounce a balloon,
bounce a balloon, 
bounce a balloon, 
this is how we bounce a balloon, 
gently in the air"

Outdoor Play: Flying our butterflies:)

Handwriting & Coloring: Things that start with the letter B, tracing & handwriting practice with lowercase & uppercase Bb's...
Music: Rolling the dice to see what song we will sing next!
Show & Tell:
I LOVE it when their show & tell starts with the letter of the week!! That way, it is teaching them conversational & public speaking skills, but I also get to incorporate it into the lesson! Thanks for bringing in your Bug Book...

Physical Fitness: Playing Basketball

During snack, we watched a Baseball video...
Science: We went on a bug hunt in the backyard...

Journals/Application: We talked about the video they watched & decided on what to journal about. They wanted to draw the "talking baseball" from the movie & everyone did a really great job drawing what they saw:)
"Hot Potato"---but we played "Hot Baseball" & whoever had the baseball when the music stopped, was out.
Another fun week!!!
