Sweet & Salty

Theme:  Letter S
We noticed that both upper and lower case S have the same shape.  We had fun pulling S shapes out of a sack and then did a corresponding activity with each shape.  We focused on some fun S words like swim, sun, skin, see, soft, silly, slimy, sweet, speak, snack, string, sing, song ....We also learned that when H follows S it makes the "sh" sound, which includes words such as shoulder, shine, shark, show, shake, and shush.

Choosing Time:  Silly Scissor Cutting Collages, Shapes, trains, doll house, dress-ups, jewels,....

Show & Tell:
 Songs

 Squares & S


 Swords

 Super Hero


 Saber-tooth Tiger & Snakes

 Who is longer?


 Can you coil into a spiral?


Science:  We learned about Signs of Spring--I asked the kiddos, "What kinds of changes do you see outside?"  Many of them replied, "Rainbows!"  I laughed.  And, just so you know, some also answered, "Birds!"  Hopefully now, we'll also be looking for brown to turn to green--on the trees, in the grass, in dirt...and for butterflies and bees to start showing up.
