Ll Week!

Welcome to Ll week!  Light, lip, laugh, leg, lamb, lion, line, little ....

Circle Time - We sang "5 Little Llamas Jumping on the Bed".  It was an instant favorite!

Feely Bag - Ll Week - 


Journal Time - Ll week - Ladders, lamb, L ...

 
Look Binoculars - These binoculars helped the kiddos look for thing and at things!

Left! - We printed our left hand today and discovered we have a letter L there!

Letter Writing - The kiddos wrote themselves a letter, then we put it in the mail box and in the next day or two they'll get their letter at their house!  We talked about what happens to a letter after the mailman picks it up.  (It goes in their truck, they take it to the post office where it gets sorted, then out it goes on a truck to be delivered!)

The kiddos were super excited to mail their letters.  We were bummed our mailman didn't come during class time (sometimes he does).  It would have been fun to hand the letter right to him.

 

Ladder - The kiddos were super excited by this ladder and that they got to climb it and jump off of it!  Wahoo!  We also realized that while waiting for their turn, we formed:  a Lovely Ladder Line! 

Lemon Scented Play Dough - Oodles of fun!  The kiddos tried out our new letter stamps I found at Goodwill.  

 

Science - Lemons - We cut open a lemon to see what it looked like inside.  We also took a few tastes.  We found that a lemon has segments like an orange and seeds! 

Lemon Juice = Lemonade! - The kiddos were excited to create their own lemonade today!  They squeezed lemon wedges really hard, then we sprinkled in some sugar and took a sip.  Yum!

The kiddos really enjoyed this messy bit of fun.  Great for their hand muscles too.

Lemon Painting - The kiddos drew the segments, seeds and the lemon's belly button on their small paper plate with crayon.  Then they painted it.  I was going to scent the paint with lemonade Kool-Aid, but I didn't have any.


Letter L Yoga - Here is our L! 

Lizards! - The kiddos were surprised to find lizards in the backyard bucket lift.

Magnetic Letter Board - Toddlers - The kiddos were moving around the magnetic letters on the calendar, so I pulled out this board (from IKEA) and our baggie of letters and let them go to it.   They loved it!  I think I'll pull this out for the older kiddos tomorrow!

Journal Time - Lollipops!


Craft Stick Lizards - These turned out so cute, I wish I had all the classes make them, drat!

For the legs, I used one pipe cleaner and just bent it to create them, and then hot glued them on.

 Ready for painting.

Rolly Polly - We were excited to discover a rolly polly making his way down the driveway.  The little critter got to walk on everyone's hands, it was a bit tickle-ish.
