More Alphabet Party~

Here are our completed Capital and lowercase letter posters!  

Each student was supposed to bring in their favorite animal.  We also picked out some other animals so we would have enough for each letter!

Now that we are done with our alphabet wall...it's turning into our Math wall!

Alphabet Party~

Since we recently finished learning about our alphabet.  We had an alphabet party.  I asked that each student wear a green shirt and brown pants and if they didn't have these colors to wear a tree color (yellow, orange, red).  We made our own Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom hats.  We also picked out foam letters and stuck them to our shirts so we looked like the actually coconut tree.  We had so much fun making our costumes.  

 We also did different alphabet activities through-out the day.  We colored capital letters and matched them with their lowercase letter.  

We also played letter musical chairs and had a fun snack!  We had so much fun!

Letter of the Week Z~

We finally finished our last letter of the alphabet. We made Zebras for the letter Z.

Letter Y Art~

We are getting down to our last couple letters of the alphabet.  We made Yak's for our letter of the week art for Y.  

T Letter of the Week~

For our letter T art we made turtles.  We used small pieces of tissue paper and liquid starch for the shell of the turtle and construction paper for the head, arms and tail.

W Letter of the Week~

We made watermelons for letter w.  

V Letter of the Week~

Our letter V art were Volcanoes.  We tore around the edges of our volcano and then we used karo corn syrup for the lava.  I just mixed the corn syrup with food coloring!  

Letter S~

This week we learned all about the letter S!  I thought shark art would be fun and the boys especially liked making them.  We used a white paper plate and folded it in half.  Then we cut out triangle for sharp teeth!   

Letter of the Week R~

All about the letter R!  We made our very own robots.  I let the students cut out their own pieces so that each robot looked unique.  I think they turned out awesome!

 

 

Letter Q~

This week our focus is the letter Q.  We decided to make a quilt and hang it in the hallway.  We made a snowy neighborhood quilt.  Each student got to choose what bright colors they wanted to use for their part of the quilt.  We used q-tips and white paint to make the snow. 

 

Letter P Penguin Art~

We have been learning all about penguins, why not make penguin art!  My students kept thinking the penguins were wearing ear phones, ear muffs must have been from my era as a kid. :)

Letter O~

O is for Ostrich.  We had a fun afternoon making our ostrich's.  We watched a video that showed people racing on ostrich's and a video of them running in the wild.  The kids loved this.  Then we made our very own to hang on our alphabet wall. 

 

 

 

Letter N~

 

This week we learned about the letter N!  We made "Nelly" the newt!  Some of the students hid Nelly under the leaves...others just kept Nelly on the log.

 

Letter M~

Last week we worked on the letter M!  Our letter of the week art was a moose!  

Letter L~

This week our letter of the week is "L".  We made lion faces using construction paper and Rotini noodles!  This was a great art project for using fine motor skills!

Letter K~

This week we worked on the Letter "K", we made kites to hang on our alphabet wall in the hall.  We used oil pastels for the 1st time this year, the students did a great job! 

Letter I~

I'm a little behind.  We worked on the letter "I" last week for our letter of the week.  We made ice cream for our art project.  I used 1/2 glue 1/2 shaving cream mixed with paint to make it stand out more and look like actual ice cream.  The mixture makes it puffier than usual paint.  We finished with a cherry on top! :)
