Today had to be one of our most entertaining days so far. Our letter was “I” so we brought out musical instruments for the kids to play with. They took turns with the tambourine, triangle, bells, wood block & mallet, and rhythm sticks and made their own music while we sang a random assortment of songs from “Jingle Bells” to “Jesus Loves Me”. It was hilarious!
Next we worked on scissor skills by cutting out our verse “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Phillipians 4:13) and measured it against our height. We counted out four red paper ice cream scoops and glued them onto a cone. Then we used the dot markers to color a letter I activity sheet.
We had a tasty red snack: red pepper, apples, raspberries, tomatoes, cherries, strawberries, and punch. We spent some time singing and dancing to Lauri Berkner’s “Victor Vito” and “Bumblebee” then settled down for some great books. We read “Llama Llama Red Pajama” by Anna Dewdney, “Red Truck” by Kersten Hamilton, and “Bad Kitty” (alphabet book) by Nick Bruel.
We planned to let the kids roll the letter I with red playdogh but they needed some running around time after sitting for stories so we finished our day with playtime outside (sand table, slide, rocking horse, running around...having a blast).
