A couple weeks ago we started learning our ABC's having one letter each week to concentrate on and work into our Reggio projects. Our first letter was the letter "F".
A, G, and R collaging their letter F using Feathers. The children were talking all about the different animals that had feathers - Falcons, Owls, Birds, and Chickens.
The boys realized that the word Frog starts with the letter F and decided to make a game. The game was called "Ribbit Ribbit...I WIN!!!" The rules: roll the dice then move the number of spaces while saying, "Ribbit, Ribbit...I WIN!"
For art, our friends used frogs to make frog prints. The children really liked to see the unique little prints from the frogs webbed feet.
For the week of letter "F" we thought it would be special to make a Friendship Fruit Salad. All of our friends brought in a fruit to share with each other. Each child used a plastic knife to cut their fruit. It was so neat to hear the conversations about the different fruits and to see the children try some fruits that they had never tried before.
Eating our very yummy Fruit Salad with our Friends!
In PreK we recalled which fruits were brought to school and were mixed together in our fruit salad. Our PreK friends cut out the different fruits that they drew and glued them into a bowl.

G and M working on their Under the Sea pictures. The children love to use glue and glitter and were taking about making the fish a coral reef and putting sea weed so the they could hide from sharks.
Our beautiful fish tanks! Please stop by the class to see the fish tanks and read the children's very unique fish tank stories. (Located on the blue wall.)
N and Teacher Janet exploring play doh together.
This is a map of the world and on the map are pictures of many different animals and they are located on the map on which part of the world they are from. The children really loved asking, "What's that animal called?" and then they would tell their friend, "Look thats a whale shark!"
L brought in her new puppy Toby to meet her friends in Blue Room. Each child got to feed Toby a snack. Toby was so friendly and soft. He was fun to play with and L was so excited to share the new edition to her family.
Thank you to J and L for bringing Toby in to meet us!
Hugs,
Teacher Kristina
