N is for Nests

We built our own NESTS this week, so we went outside to collect leaves & twigs...

and then glued them together, with some "Grass" to make nests!

Music & Movement: Singing songs while Marching!
Handwriting & Coloring: We practiced writing lowercase & uppercase Nn's & colored a bird's nest...

At Home Activity:
Talk about the different sounds that M & N make.
Sometimes they are hard to HEAR & help your child annunciate the sounds & think of words that start with each letter!
