Even though Mother Nature sent snow our way, we still had a great time in the Animal Museum today. The teachers agreed that our outdoor field trips are coming to an end. :(
The children were able to see many animals that are native to Idaho. They were also able to see those that are native to Africa as well. They made some good connections to where we live and what surrounds us.
This week, for letter Ii, we played a tic-tac-toe game using upper and lower case I's instead of X and O. It was great practice not only for letter writing, but also for learning to work with a partner and cooperate. We used clear plastic folders with the game inside, and wrote with dry erase markers that wipe of easily so we were able to play over and over. You can do the same thing at home with page protectors and dry erase markers. Pick any letter your child needs to work on and take turns being either the capital or lower case letter.
We're getting excited for the holidays! I'm already listening to "what Santa is bringing"! This time of year is so magical - especially with children. WE LOVE THEM!!!!!
