Light, Lines, & Legos

Theme:  Letter L
We made "L" shapes with our bodies.  We practiced writing L/l.  We sounded out some L words.  We played a game to guess if the "L" sound was in the beginning, middle, or end of the words I said.

Choosing Time:  Legos, Lacing Cards, Lacing Beads, Ladybug "L" Game, ...

Science & Math:
  • Life Cycle of a Ladybug--We had so much fun with this!  After learning some facts one of the kiddos asked me, "How long do they live?"  I replied that I didn't know.  We researched it and learned that they can live up to 2 years and that they hibernate.  I LOVE that they question!  We watched a video clip of a ladybug who had one wing red and the other wing was yellow.  Then we watched a silly ladybug video that had us all busting up.  
  • Licorice Length--I had found some extra long licorice.  We took a ruler and counted out the inches.  Then the kiddos helped me to measure one licorice piece.  It was 17" long!  Then we ate some, after making Loops with them!
Game:  FlashLight Letter Writing on the Ceiling

Reading:  We added some words to our word wall:  a, an, at, as, & am.  We learned that those are building words and had fun trying out some consonants in front of them to sound out new words.
