Gg Week

It is a grand and glorious week for the letter Gg!

Feely Bag - Gg - Gorilla, grasshopper, giraffe, goat, Grover, gold.

Journals - Gg - "Go!" - cars on a road, gold, googley eyes, green, leprechaun feet.

 

 

Gray, green and Goofy - This kiddos was so excited to show me he came prepared for Gg week today by his outfit choice.  Nicely done!

Science - Grow! - Today we planted bulbs in cups with rocks so we can watch them grow!  We're hoping to see some roots by next week.  We talked about what a plant needs to grow (water, sunshine, soil, and love).  We talked about why Ms. Sara had chosen rocks instead of soil (so we can see the roots), we're hoping our experiment works!

Snack - Pi Day - Today is Pi day! (3.14...)  A mom brought us a yummy pie to celebrate!  It was delicious!  Thanks so very much!

Gingerbread Houses - A few weeks back as we were discussing upcoming letters, the kiddos suggested that we make gingerbread houses. Great idea!

*Warning:  For better or worse, Ms. Sara hot glued the graham cracker structure together.  This was actually a good thing.  It saved a lot of time and tears.  The kiddos were able to decorate and munch and lick, but they knew to not eat the graham crackers.

 

Bubble Gum - Gum is a great Gg word!  Today we chewed and chewed and tried blowing bubbles.

 

Science - Shrinking Leprechaun Hats - The kiddos decorated a hat (Styrofoam cup) then we placed them in the oven (at 250 degrees for about 10 minutes).  We kept checking them and they started shrinking down to leprechaun size!

I saw this idea on this blog:  Here.

 Watching them shrink...

 Here they are all done!

Green Pom Pom Bracelets - We decided we needed some protection from pesky leprechauns, so we made a magic bracelet.

 The kiddos laced pom poms onto elastic cord using a needle.

 I tied a knot and put super glue on it.  The glue needed to dry for a few minutes.

Leprechaun Traps - The kiddos have been so excited to create leprechaun traps.  We pulled out the creation bin along with some green and gold and glittery bits to attract the rascals.

 

Snack - Green Cream Cheese?! - It seems like the leprechauns have started early this week!

Rainbow Necklace - Tasty - The kiddos laced fruit loops to make a wonderful St. Patrick's Day necklace.

Shamrock Buddies - Toddlers - The kiddos decorated a St. Patrick's Day friend.

Dapper - This kiddos showed up on St. Patrick's day all prepared.

Follow That Rainbow - Our Leprechaun treasure hunt, here we go!  Those pesky leprechauns had the rainbow string all around Ms. Sara's house and into the backyard!

 A bag of Lucky Charms for each kiddo was our treasure!

Garbage Trucks - On Tt week they were trash trucks.  Ha!
