Today's letter writing!!

 

Our Kind Friend of the Month!!!

 Our kind friend of the month was announced today at Bucket filling!!! We will celebrate all of our hard work being bucket fillers with a special dress up day: Hat day! Your kangaroo can wear their hat of choice tomorrow for school! It is also wear your favorite color day.... two dress up days in one!

Lowercase Letter c Writing

 Today we practiced writing the lowercase version of letter C. It was super nice because we make it the same way just smaller!! Below are some pictures. We will keep working on our letter writing throughout the year. 

Making Crystals!

 Today during science class we started a crystal experiment to see if we can grow some overnight! I didn't get a chance to take everyone's picture. It was a MESSY and BUSY activity. We can't wait to see what happens in the morning!

Letter C Writing.

 We practiced writing our letters C's again today. This is a SUPER tricky letter to write as it curves around and isn't made up of straight lines like letters T and N. Once we get the hang of writing it, we will keep working on making sure the letters sit on top of the lines and not above (floating) or below them (we call this in the basement).

If you give a cat a cupcake!

 We read the story If you give a cat a cupcake by Laura Numeroff because it is a silly story and has words that start with our letter of the week... letter C! :) After enjoying the story we made our own cupcakes and (with Mrs. King's help) wrote what we thought a cat would want after getting a cupcake. This project allowed us to practice our name writing, cutting, fine motor coloring skills, painting skills, and practice following more than one step directions to complete a task. It is a lot of skills being practiced for just a cupcake art project!! Below are pictures of us working on our cupcakes. We even used a special paint (Sweetened Condensed Milk) which makes our cupcake frosting VERY shiny when it dries!!! 

I also linked a video of the story if you haven't had the opportunity to read it yet. It is a cute story. 

Here we are working on our cupcakes!!
