Letter T

This week, we found a tiger, a truck, Princess Tiana, a T-Rex, some tape, and our letter friend Tiggy Tiger  in our letter of the week box. Our SEEL lesson took us on a train trip to a tent in Texas. After we got off the train we tiptoed to the tent and ate a treat!

We had a terrific time during learning stations! At the teacher center we drew letter sticks out of a cup and then practiced writing the letters we picked.

At the computer station we played letter and reading games on starfall.com

For a fine motor and spatial reasoning activity (with literacy to boot!) we did puzzles of things that start with the letter T--trains, tools, and trucks!

We decorated our letter Ts with trucks! We colored the letters to look like mud so the monster trucks would have a good and messy place to drive on.

It was also groundhog day! We learned a new groundhog day song:

(sung to "Are you sleeping?")
Mr. Groundhog,
Mr. Groundhog,
Are you there?
Are you there?
Will you see your shadow?
Will you see your shadow?
On this day,
Groundhog day.

Then we made little groundhog puppets on popsicle sticks  that pop out of their burrows (made from a toilet paper tube that Miss Megan had been saving for something just like this.) Silly Miss Megan was too busy helping with the groundhogs and showing us a news clip of Punxatany Phill to take any pictures.
