This morning we had such a blast with the Scarecrows theme. We started the day with decorating our own flippy floppy scarecrow hats. Then we read and sang songs about scarecrows. We practiced reading with the letter L and had so much fun making dancing scarecrows.
They each dictated a sentence to me about their scarecrow, they were awesome! "My scarecrow dances." "My scarecrow is all fabulous!" "My scarecrow lost his head!" "My scarecrow is black and pink." "My scarecrow is colorful!" "My scarecrow dances everywhere."
This afternoon we had a fantastic reading lesson about blending the first consonant and vowel. We've focused on 2 vowels so far 'a' and 'i' and have 9 consonants as well. We made a list of all the consonants in front of the letter a and all the consonants in front of the letter i. We simply left off the third letter of our three letter words and worked solely on blending the consonant and vowel. After a day of work many kids were able to blend the two letters quite easily! I was so proud of their work!
After reading we took a vote and decided to do art next. Each child got to cut out their own scarecrow and color him. It was a bit challenging to do the cutting and everyone was in their own place but all the kids were successful at cutting out at least most of the pieces themselves.
We practiced AAB patterns in math and also had a blast playing with the musical instruments for music.
