Letter I, iguana, igloo, inchworm

Tuesday morning when Hyrum came into the classroom, he completed the big animal puzzle that we had started on Thursday. With all 6 of us working together on it before, it got confusing as to where the pieces all went, but Hyrum had no problem at all getting it finished.  I knew that he could do it, and he did!!

 Miss Jo Dee read them about Inky Inchworm

 Each was given an egg carton, some paint and a brush and  the fun began! 

 We put newspaper on the table, got out or little water containers, and put on their painting aprons.  We were going to paint our "inchworms"  Joey chose green

 Sam chose orange

 Janae chose gold

 Hyrum chose green

 Lily also chose green

While we waited for the paint to dry, so that we could decorate these little guys, Sam showed us his tape measure and told us all about it.

And Joey showed us his Darth Vader

Then we worked on a paper separating the letter "I" words and the letter "O" words

 Here is Janaye cutting out the pictures to be placed by the right letter  They are all getting better with the cutting process, and so we continue to practice.

 Lily is pasting the octopus next to "o", the igloo next to I, inchworm and invitation .

I had little ice cream cones and wrote the letters that we have studies so far on them.  The letters are C O G A D S L and I flashed them for the kids to guess.  With the incentive of a skittle for each correct letter, it is amazing how many remember the letters!!  Each got 5 or 6 skittles, so they did well.  Now we are working on the sounds of our letters, so that we can begin to put words together, like dad, dog, log

With the inch worms dry, the children then put googly eyes on them and put their colored dots on the bodies. Another completed craft and a fun activity

And another PreK was completed!!
