Theme:  Letter "U"
I placed several word pictures under the playhouse roof.  Each child chose a picture and then put it in the correct sound column.  Letter U makes two sounds. Some of the fun words we talked about were unicorn, unicycle, uno, up, underwear, under, Utah...

Field Trip Fun:  Thank you to Dr. Preston at 9th East Dental for a super fun field trip!  We were able to "ride" in the dentist chair, play a flossing & brushing game, and get our teeth counted.  We loved receiving a nice new toothbrush and timer!  It was a great field-trip!

Show & Tell:  Unicorn, & umbrellas (Huge success, thank you for sharing!)

Art:  Underground U's

Science: 

• How do seeds grow?  What do they need? We've been watching our seeds grow in our classroom.  The sunflower seeds sprouted first and then the bean seeds.  Even though the sunflowers were first, the beans are taller now.  The hollyhock seed is finally sprouting and we're still waiting for the pumpkin seeds. It is fun to have them in clear cups.  We can see the roots going down.
• What happens underground?  What animals live underground?  Why?

Music & Movement:

• Up, Up in the Sky
• Clap under your knees

Un-Birthday Party Fun:  We had a great time dancing, singing, playing, blowing our party blowers, wearing party hats, singing the un-birthday song, playing games, choosing prizes, and making an un-birthday treat :)

Cooking:  We made "Underground" Mud Cups with worms for our Un-Birthday Treat.  The kiddos had fun smashing the Oreos with a rolling pin.
