#9 Brown Nn

Today we started with table time and played the paintbrush color matching game and did number and alphabet puzzles.  I’m so proud of these kids for knowing their colors, numbers, and letters!

Then we made “Nine Noodle Necklaces” and did a “Nine Numbers over a Noodle Nest” craft page to go with our letter and number of the day.  The verse we learned was “Make a joyful noise to the Lord. Psalm 98:4” and we colored a “Noisy Nightingale” with our verse on it. While we colored we sang “Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord” and “Engine, Engine Number 9”.  

For snack we ate pretzels, graham crackers, chocolate pudding, nuts and chocolate milk. 

During our story time we read “Brown Bear, Brown Bear”, “Alphabet Under Construction”, “Brown Rabbit in the City”, and “Nn Soundbox”.

We played in tents and threw beanbags through the circle to improve our motor skills. 

It was nice outside so we took our nets out and caught leaves.

Here are a few more fun photos from our day...

#8 Black Bb

Among the fun letter B activities we did today: Balloons, Blocks, and Binoculars!

"I'm Dora!"

Playing basketball with blocks

Our yummy “black snack” included licorice, raisins, olives (8 on our fingers), blackberries, and black bean dip with pita chips. 

We made a butterfly craft out of the letter B and made a poster with eight black fingerprint bugs. 

Proudly wearing the number of the day!

For story time we read “10 Black Dots” and “Dog’s Colorful Day”. We practiced counting to eight with the math bears. 

 
The highlight of the day was a tractor-wagon ride… not part of the lesson plan but so much FUN!
