Objective: To recognize the letter "I" and learn its two sounds. To use our imaginations to create a sticker story. To gain confidence in our abilities.
Choosing Time: "Popcorn" Names, Peg Boards with rubber bands, Construct-a-vehicle, & Puppets
Snack: Thank you to Daniel for a yummy & healthy snacks of orange slices & raisins! Even the most picky palette commented, "Mmm, these oranges are tasty!" I added some insect crackers just for fun to celebrate the letter "I".Music & Movement: We practiced our Countdown Exercises to release some Indoor Wiggles
Book: A Merry Little Christmas by Mary Englebreit
Lesson: We guessed some "I" words. We practiced drawing "I's". Ask your children to show you the lower case "i". Did they make a fun noise as they drew it? :)
ABC Christmas Game: We used our Imagination to pack Santa's Sleigh using the ABC's. This was a fun way to practice our letter recognition as well as the letter sounds. One child to pack an Ax. This concerned another child. She wanted it to be a pretend one. I reminded them that it was a pretend game and so it would be okay to include a real ax. She wasn't too sure. :) Since we put a real zebra in the sleigh we sprinkled magic on it so Santa could pull it.
Art: Stickers, crayons, & paper were the mediums we used to invent a wonderful picture story. I hope you have a moment to hear your children's stories.
Our imaginations were exercised & stretched today!
