Letter Y and ABC review @ Julie's House

 Thursday we focused on the letter Y.  first everyone wanted to try uncles Yummy green smoothie. Kuulei really liked it and had the cutest green smoothie mustache.


We had a small group today only Kailia, Kuulei and Aisa.  We did our usual circle time then watched a couple of classic Sesame Street video clips on the letter Y and made the letter Y with our bodies when ever we saw a word that started with the letter Y. and danced around the Beatles song "Yellow Submarine" They LOVE to dance!!






We went over the color book Brown Bear, Brown Bear to practice for graduation 
then we identified several yellow items and glued them to our Y is for yellow pages.  
Some things were soft, some hard and some different shapes.



 For snack time we had Yellow Mac & Cheese, Yogurt and we cut open 
hard boiled eggs to see the Yellow Yolk inside. They liked the eggs the best!

 



 For a craft project we wrapped yarn around a jell-o box over and over again then tied 
them tight in the middle. They them cut the loops and glued eyes on to make our Yarn Pals.

 


 By then it was time to play in the Yard, they were dying to see the dogs and jump on the tramp.
       


The Next day we had Kailia, Kuulei and Alema.  They always have fun playing together.


We had a great circle time and practiced some things for graduation.  Then we read the book Chika Chika Boom Boom and used magnetic letter to put them up in our palm tree. They could hardly wait taking turns finding the next letter to put on the palm tree.
  
For snack time we had Alphabet soup and spent time identifying the different letters as they ate them.



We then played an Alphabet review game... we each took turns picking a clothes pin
 (marked with letters) out of the bag and then clipped it on the matching letter.


Then we watched a few sesame street video clips that reviewed the alphabet
Kailia and Kuulei thought the view was better upside down.

 
Alema and Kailia are making the letter H together.



Alema really liked the clothes pin game and did it again all by himself. 
 Thanks for such a great time at preschool this week both Kailia and I love it!  
Your kids are all soooo smart and we always have a blast!
