Letter K week

We "kicked" off our week by learning about the letter K. In our letter of the week box we found a koala, a kangaroo, a kitten, some keys, King Triton, and our alpha friend Keely Kangaroo.

We learned about the sound the letter K makes and read a story about a little kangaroo that had a really bad day. We talked about how Mommy Kangaroos have pouches for their joeys (baby kangaroos) Miss Megan gave each of us a Kangaroo Pouch. We hopped around the house and picked up pictures of things that start with K! While we hopped we sang "K! K! Kangaroo!"

Before play time we went out in the garage and Miss Megan let us kick a big ball that had Ks written all over it.

After our snack we decorated our letter Ks for our alphabet books with kiss stickers! Our shape of the day was a square, we made pictures out of squares. You should have seen our funny drawings and collages!

This week we went on our first field trip. Is there a tastier way to learn the letter K than by going to Krispy Kreme? Also our shape of the day was a circle. We saw (and ate) a lot of those!


We loved seeing how the doughnuts are made. First they rise in a big machine that blows hot air, then they get dropped in the grease, flipped over, and frosted by a waterfall of frosting. So cool. Or should we say "Kool"?

After our field trip we talked about the circle shape




Then teacher sent us home with another doughnut. Too much sugar for us? nah...

  1. This is just too much fun! I wish I was 4 and could come to your preschool. As a kindergarten teacher of 30 years I think that your program sounds right on track. These kids will be ready for Kindergarten. Keep up the good work!
