Chicka Chicka Boom Boom: Friday

                                 This morning we danced to Surfing USA on the carpet!

           Our surfing dance moves were pretty impressive especially while wearing our tropical gear!!!!

                               Our morning message was, "Letters make sounds and words."

                                 We enjoyed the beautiful weather outside this morning.

                 At circle we discovered all the letters from Chicka Chicka Boom Boom were missing.

We decided we had to work together and find them. We went on a class letter hunt.

                             Every time we found a letter we identified the letter and made the sound.

            After we found all the letters we put them on our tree. We even created a couple sight words                               with the letters because we remembered letters together make words. During this activity the children are applying early reading skills and attending to sounds in language.

           Writing the letter C during centers time with our handwriting with out tears printable. We were working with our younger kids on hold our writing object with proper pincer grip.

                       Searching for letters with the magnifying glass. We discovered the magnifying glass helps us find the tiny letter. After finding the letter we wrote the letter on separate sheet of paper.

                              Working together in the block area. Great tower, Friends!


At Jesus time we talked about how God rested on the 7th day because he saw all that he made was good.

           We finished our class book and discovered there is always enough room for Mrs. Medrano's class on the coconut tree!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom:Thursday

Today was a very busy day. We had our very first fire drill of the school year! Before going out and finding our safe spot we talked about why we have fire drills and the safety rules we need to follow when leaving our classroom for a fire drill. The children did wonderful: ) Ask your child about the fire drill today and what they need to do to stay safe. 

                                                                       

                                                             Morning Free Play

   

 Mrs. Haun visited our class today and read us the silly book, Are you my mother?

                                                           Outside fun on the playground

                               Our morning message today was, "God forgives us."

        Our friend leading us in singing the alphabet and letter sound song. Ask your child to sing some of the letter sounds for you.

At circle we had a capital and lowercase sort with the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Letters. During this activity the children expanded their vocabulary by learning what capital and lowercase meant. They also were using their gross motor skills with purpose and control as well as demonstrating knowledge of the alphabet. 

        When a friend matched the uppercase and lowercase letter everyone celebrated singing, Boom Boom!

                  This game was the highlight of the day. Having the opportunity to use a fly swatter and shout the words, Boom Boom was a big hit!

          We also made books at centers titled,  Taking Care of God's World. Check for the book inside your child's back pack. After reading this book with your child talk to them about more ways they can take care of the world and one another.

                                   

                              Acting out the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom story in the sensory table.

    The children loved the capital/ lowercase sort so much we played it again during centers with Mrs. Horton.

We also finished up Coconut tree bingo. The whole class identified all the letters of the alphabet on our coconut tree.

  At Jesus time Zippy the puppet was sad because he dropped grape juice all over the carpet in his new house. We talked to Zippy and said that when God created the world it was perfect until Adam and Eve sinned. We discussed that we as humans are sinners and make mistakes but God forgives us because he loves us. Zippy felt a little better after hearing we all make mistakes. We also sent Zippy home with some carpet cleaner! During this Jesus time we are recognizing sin and the need for forgiveness.
