The highlight of this week's workshops was the very yummy and simple acorn cookies. The kids made one, then wrote how to make it, then got to make another one! The little kiss is the acorn part and the cookie is the top. You should try them at home - all you need is mini cookies (we used oatmeal), frosting (peanut butter would be yummy too), and Hershey kisses.
Our new take home book is The Bug, The Frog, and The Frog. New words: on, ten. After making their cards and reading the book, the kids sorted /D/ words by the beginning and ending sound. If they finished that, they wrote sentences using the /D/ words. We are beginning to tell stories in our writing!
Making Fall sentences was fun! Each sentence and Fall nature item was tucked into a small brown paper bag. The trick is putting the sentence together in the correct order. This activity not only practices HFW, but sentence structure as well. A challenge for some!
The kids worked in groups to weave using paper strips on the giant loom. Next week, we will weave individual paper placemats.
In preperation for Grandparent's Day, we made sweet grandparent collaeges. These turned out so cute! Everyone made a grandparent and then wrote 6 words that describe their grandparents. Words such as "happy," "love," and "giving" are placed around the picture.
We will put these collages up for Grandparent's Day.
