Wow!  What a day!!! I am still shocked at how quickly the time went by.  We had so much fun and before I knew it, moms were back to pick them up.  It's crazy that this day went faster than a regular day.  It's probably because I was trying to squeeze two days into one.  We did about half of what I had planned.  Lol!  

Here are some pictures of your sweet little kiddos.   

Our letter of the day was "M" for milk cow.  

Our color was black, our number was 6, and our shape was a rectangle.  

We learned a fun new cow song.  I sent a copy of it home.  It's on the back of their do-a-dot M.  

We finished making our piggie noses and played the three little pigs.  So fun!  The noses are in their backpacks.  

We did our do-a-dot.  

Then we went to the park and then had our snack.  They love going to the park.  

We went back and went upstairs for centers.  In individual instruction we made spotted cows.  

We also made footprint cow heads.  I am in love with this craft!  So cute!!

Centers!

After centers we came downstairs for lunch.  They did great and everyone was happy with what they had.  :)

We cleaned up from lunch and then made some sugar cookies.  I had pre-made the dough so we rolled it and cut out the cow shapes.  What a workout! Lol! 

I was so excited when this cookie cutter arrived.  I think it's adorable!

Thanks for your patience waiting for your kids.  Honestly we could have played all day.  I am loving being their teacher.  Thank-you for this opportunity.  This has been an enormous blessing to me and my family.  I am starting sign ups for next year.  I would truly appreciate you spreading the word for me.  

Thanks!

P is for Pig contined.  We had fun today learning more about Penelope Pig.  We repeated the "this little piggie" nursery rhyme, we read a pig book, and had a great time together. 

This is the book we read in story time. It's really cute. 

We played this fun game where the kids throw a ball into a hole that has a picture card in it, then we identify if that word starts with a P or not.  

The kids love it!  Then we went over to the table to make some piggie noses.  They didn't dry in time so we will finish them next time. 

We will put a string on them so they can wear them and we'll act out the three little pigs.  

Then we made Pigs in a Blanket using dough and hot dogs.

They did a great job!

Then upstairs for centers while they baked.  

In individual learning we reviewed the nursery rhyme, this little piggie went to market.  Then the children created grocery lists for the piggies using magazine pictures. 

It was really cute to see them contemplate what they'd like to buy at the store.  

I sent this worksheet home for you to do with them. 

More center time fun.  

Then we went down to eat our pigs in a blanket and our snack.  

The kids loved them!

See you all next week!

P is for Petunia Pig!  We had a great time today learning about pigs.  We listened to the story of the three little pigs, we played a pig themed letter sound game, and we learned the nursery rhyme: this little piggy went to market in circle time.  We sang lots of songs and got all the wiggles out.  

First we practiced making the letter P by placing circle stickers on the letter.

Then we made Petunia Pig Puppets!

So fun!

They practiced their best pig impressions while I popped popcorn. 

We had popcorn and purple juice.  

Then we went upstairs for centers. 

In individual learning, the pasted Petunia Pig on a piece of brown paper and then used finger paint to put mud on her. 

I think they turned out rather well! :)

Bessie is always ready to be milked!

Such a fun day!
