Letter K Fun

Letter K Fun
These will load in just a few seconds and are worth the wait! We dance, shout the K words out and "sorta" sing along.


K song with lots of words, isolated sound and instruction on printing


Story Bots with lots of funny K words and silliness



                                           

Folksy song about Kevin the Kangaroo and K adventures 
Owen is working on one of the 17 activities that are available for the children as they enter the classroom.

I'm playing the part of a kangaroo in these not so flattering pictures. The "Preppers" are running around the room finding K's and placing them in my "Pouch." As they place them in, they make the sound "k"









Charlotte makes a K out of blocks


 When an activity is completed, the children color in a block or place a check by their name, then place their work on a drying rack.  The work is usually pretty drippy with glue and paint. Moderation is not a concept fully understood!






On Wednesday, Miss Amy helped our class make rubbings with keys.


 On Thursday, Miss Andrea helped the class with a K-kite project.


As we practice our word wall words, we follow fun motions as we shout the letters and the words. Some of these include stomping, clapping, snapping, whispering, dancing and acting like an egyptian!








Working hard on our hibernation book.  Be sure to have your "Prepper" read their book to you.

Remember, every day your child has 20 to 30 minutes in our Minds in Motion room. The activities are based on the Minds in Motion brain maze and other developmentally appropriate activities.

We are fortunate to be associated with Candace Meyer whose program originated in Southern Indiana and is now located in Louisville Kentucky.

Here is an overview of the concept and more information on the program~












Our Bible Story this week was the Feeding of the Five Thousand: Nothing is too hard for God.  Our verse was "Keep your tongue from evil." Psalm 34:13 At first, when asked, the "Preppers" thought that the verse meant: Don't stick your tongue out at people!  A very good interpretation. We talked about our "tongue" representing our words. Our words can be negative or positive~ and we practiced some examples.  Here we are praying before our snack.

Have a wonderful, blessed week-end and here's hoping that next week is a full week!

Big Two Day Week!

Big Two Day Week!

Our great Letter R Videos



Starting our day with our pledge (using our right hands)









We are enjoying the R songs.  We also sang "Ring Around The Rosie!"

In Home living we played "Restaurant" and in blocks, Hunter made  Rs.



And then, the Preppers made a Racetrack.



Better not make a wrong turn-orrr maybe that is for the pit crew!


Show and Tell was creative again as we showed off our R items.


Crew's Robin


Lincoln told about his dog at home with an R name.



Rayna brought a doll that sings "Ring Around the Rosie!"

Eliza shows off a Red Crayon


It isn't a cel phone, it's a remote (Eden)


It's C.J.'s Raphael on a Red skateboard that turns into a Red snow board
 This is Elsie's dog, Maple, who is a Ridgeback


 Dylan shows off his Red Race car


Hunter shows his Robin, Raphael and Robin


 A blurry but beautiful Charlotte shows us her Raphael and points out that he also has a red mask

 Sarah shows her raisins
 Bree shows off Raisins and Rice Crispy Treats

These Preppers all brought race cars and stood on our 10 frame to demonstrate the number 4
 They placed their cars on the frame to show 4
There were also three Raphaels 
And we showed it on the ten frame with dots (paper plates) 
Here the guys showed that there were two Robins 
There they are! 
And now represented by the dots (plates) 
The two dots also represented the two boxes of raisins... 

 Owen practices his lower case alphabet
Lincoln and Allie work on their R-road
 Miss Andrea worked hard with the Preppers on their address, phone number and birthdays
Here we work on our daily sheet 


We had a story about Noah after the Rain -building and alter with Rocks to offer thanks. And that God was pleased and put a Rainbow in the sky to Remind us of his promise. 

We also learned:"Rejoice in the Lord Always" chorus 


Many thanks for your kind words and Christmas gifts.

Partnering with you to help our Preppers grow in wisdom and faith~  Miss Paula
