Letter D Week

We had a very busy week!  

We focused on the letter D this week.    The children enjoyed lots of activities that focused on our special letter.   We took q-tips and covered the letter D with D-D-D- DOTS!   It was lots of fun.   We all chanted, "Duh-Duh Dots!" as we dipped our q-tips!  We hung our work on our classroom door.    We also made a dinosaur out of the letter D!   The children LOVE anything that has to do with a dinosaur!   We also found that our dinosaurs were covered in shapes!  How cool is that?  We hung our dinosaurs out in the hall for everyone to enjoy.

During circle time, we are always doing new activities.    This week, we played a really fun game with dice and connecting cubes.     I would roll the "magical" dice and the children would count the number shown.  Then, they would show me that amount with their cubes.   The cubes are great for counting, color recognition, sorting, fine motor skills, and patterns!  

The next few weeks will be super busy.   We will focus on the letter S next week, then we will use a full week to review all the letters we have studied so far (A, B, C, D, T, D, S).   The week before Christmas holidays, we will doing assessments to see how much the children are learning!  December is going to be very, very busy.  

Enjoy the pictures.
