Yy Week

Welcome to a yippy-skippy Yy week!

Yy Clothing - The kiddos came all decked out for Yy week.

 

 

Science - Freezing - During circle time today, we realized that it was below freezing outside.  To prove it we put water in cups and placed them on the porch to see what would happen...

It worked!  They froze!!  And the kiddos loved their Popsicles!  Next time we'll have to try juice or kool-aid!

Yeti - The kiddos created an adorable yeti...

I saw this cute idea on this blog as well as the printable yeti pieces:  Here!

Yarn Initials - The kiddos enjoyed wrapping their letters

 

Yarn Ice Cream - These clever kids wanted to know why we were making ice cream on Yy week... Ha.  

Making the pom poms -The kiddos wrapped yarn around a tp roll, I slid it off and then tied it for them.  They got to snip it.

 

We quickly learned that it was not awesome if you got a bit too close to your yarn ice cream when you were pretend licking it.  Ha! 

I saw this cute idea on this blog:  Here!

Yellow Collage - Toddlers - The kiddos always enjoy gluing.  We also talked about the color yellow and the shapes they were gluing on.

Learning Station - Yahtzee

The kiddos were playing against themselves, they just needed to roll every number, 1 - 12.  Once they got a number, they crossed it off.

Learning Station - Yarn -

The kiddos snipped yarn and taped it to their papers.

Yy Week

Yippee for Yy Week!

Yy Clothing - While in circle time we discovered that a couple of friends were wearing yellow, which is a perfect Yy clothing choice!

 

Yellow Collage - Oh so fun.  Ms. Sara dug through all the cupboards looking for all the yellow craft stuff...

 

Here are a couple from the Youngster class...

 

Yellow Balloon Yo Yo's - I started out by showing the kiddos a few videos on Youtube from yo yo masters.  Most of them were teenagers, cool huh!  We have a yo yo that we played with, but non of us have the skill to really work it.  Ha!  

So next we made these bouncy yo yo's.  Their pretty fun, but can be a little wild, so be careful.  We started out inside, and quickly realized we should be outside where there is much more space!

I neglected to get pictures, but here is the blog where I found the idea:  Here!

Learning Station - Yard Hunt

The kiddos hunted out our letters, as they brought them back to the puzzle, they told me the letter name and sometimes the sound.

 

Yy Week

Welcome to our Yippy-skippy Yy week!

Yy Clothing -  Wahoo!

 

Yarn People - Ha!  These turned out fun.  Using their wrapping skills from the learning station, the kiddos wrapped yarn to create hair and clothing for their people.

Princesses and surfer dudes...

 

 

The boys surfing the waves...

I saw this great idea on this blog:  Here!


Snack - Yy - Yogurt, yellow bananas, and a kiddo even brought yellow carrots to share!


Canning Jar Rings - I was donated a whole bunch of jars.  We used some of the jars last week for vases.  This week some of the kiddos played with the rings.  They made excellent bracelets, and rings for our tubes.

Yawn! - Youngsters - Another fabulous Yy word!  The kiddos took a look in the mirror of themselves yawning, then we tried to re-create it on paper.  The kiddos noticed that their mouths were open really big and that their eyes were scrunched.

A few of our yawning kiddos....

 

Chalk - Our T-Rex ate a few things...  a pine cone, a pickle and some broccoli.

Cereal Box - Stair Race Track - Toddlers - The kiddos looked like they needed a bit more adventure today, so cut up some donated cereal boxes and created dual race tracks down either side of the stairs.  They LOVED it!  

I like it because they can be active going up and down the stairs, but with purpose, and getting wiggles out on an inside day.

Taped Yarn - Toddlers - For our Yy activity, we taped yarn down.  Great fine motor work.

Shoveling Fun - I asked Mr. Adam not to shovel so that the kiddos could do it.  They had fun! 

Journal Time - Yum or Yuck - The kiddos tasted a strawberry candy and decided if it was yummy or yucky.

Tp Yodas - Aren't these cute!  I saw this idea on a blog and tweaked it:  Here!

Snack - Yum or Yuck - Today the kiddos tried a few things...  They could smell it, lick it or best yet:  taste it!
