Letter B Week

Dear Blue Room Families,

At the end of March, we focused on the letter B. During circle time, we gathered around the rug and brainstormed words that started with the letter B. The most popular words that the children kept mentioning were birds, balls, butterflies, bananas, and boats. Our activities included making birds with feathers, making bird feeders, making the letter B into a bumble bee, and baking banana bread.

G is showing me his completed bird with all the colorful feathers, while other friends are still working hard on theirs.


N is looking for her first feather.


Teacher Janet is helping our friends make bird feeders with Cheerios and pipe cleaners.


We are excited to see if the birds like their food!


L is cutting strips of paper for his bumble bee's stripes.


M and A put on bubble sleeves to make wonderful art.


P showing off her colorful sleeve.


A, L, N, and E are all using straws to blow objects around the table, practicing their physics, prediction, motor planning, and coordination skills.



L is chopping up the butter for banana bread.



A is mixing all the ingredients for banana bread while A counts to five so she can pass the bowl to M.

We had lots of fun with all of our letter B activities. We're looking forward to reviewing our letters since we have now completed the alphabet! :)

Hugs,
Teacher Sammy
