T is for TIGER

Letter Concepts:
Making the letter Tt's on the ground with 2 pieces of yarn...


We had a special helper today---a BIG 7 YEAR OLD(off on Spring Break) & she helped lead the children around the room during Music & Movement!
Handwriting & Coloring: T is for Tiger
We celebrated a BIRTHDAY this week!!! His mom brought DELICIOUS cupcakes for the class & we enjoyed them outside:)
Catch the "Turtle". They were really shells, but we pretended:) This helps with hand-eye-coordination!
Arts & Crafts: Scratch the "Magic Turtles" & watch your designs appear! They had so much fun with this activity, I think they could have kept scratching away all day:)



They earned a SPECIAL snack time today & so we ate snack, while we watched Franklin the TURTLE!
