G is Sneaky







We kicked off the week with a grrrreat time. We missed Stella, she was home with a runny nose. Will led us in the pledge of alligence. I LOVE hearing our kids recite the pledge. We talked about the letter G/g. G is a pretty crazy letter that makes TWO, count it: one, two, sounds. One of the sounds G makes is exactly the same sound that J makes (juh). Zane was the first one to think of a juh, word; giraffe. Then we talked about the easier sound, guh, like garbage. Will thought of the first guh word.

We completed two worksheets, one on finding different objects that started with juh or guh. The other worksheet helped the kids practice writing capital and lowercase G. I focused on teaching the kids about the color gold. The kids painted lovely goldfish with sparkly gold paint and covering the fish with gold glitter.

Our snack included gold whales and graham cracker bears. The weather was super nice so we snacked outside. We all enjoyed a rousing game of duck, duck, goose.
