P's a Plenty

Theme:  Letter P
It is truly impressive to consider all the words that begin with "P".  Some of our focus words included pumpkin, pirate, parrot, puzzle, pink, purple, prince, princess, put, pig, pen, pencil, purse, pot, puppy, pop, popcorn, & pan.  I took a teapot and let the children choose one "P" item from my pocket to place into the pot.  We then did an activity to go with the item.
