Toys: Playhouse, Duplo blocks--race track, ABC magnets, ABC "touch and feel" cards.
Snacks: Asian Pear, carrots and Cheez-its.
We had a fun time with the Asian Pear or Pear Apple. We felt it, squeezed it, (it is hard to the touch), cut it, smelled it (sweet like a pear and juicy). The texture when ripe is crunchy like an apple but sweet like a pear.
Circle Time/White Board Discussion: While reviewing the alphabet, we talked about the copycat C and how C and K sound the same. We talked about how when c and k walk together c always comes before k so that k does not kick c! Our example was chick and chicken!
Songs: Johnny Appleseed and Popcorn Popping
Alphabet Review--We enjoyed listening to the Amazing Action Alphabet and reviewing letters and sounds A-P.
