Each week
we have a special "letter of the week".
During the week, we make crafts
that feature the letter of the week and practice the upper and lower cases of the
letter.
WHAT WE DO - ACTIVITIES:
During the week we're learning about a particular letter (in this case the Letter E),
we'll often do an activity celebrating that letter. One idea for the letter E is
electricity. Visit the library and take out a non fiction book or two
about electricity.
WHAT WE DO - OUR BODIES:
Exercise!!
WHAT WE DO - CRAFTS: Decorate with
eggshells! Wash them off and use the white eggshells as clouds or die them to make a
coloured mural (either prior to eating the egg or afterwards). I know it sounds a
bit odd... but trust me, kids (especially young ones) love to "colour" in simple
pictures with all different sorts of materials. With a few "odd" craft
supplies, a simple colouring pages can become memorable craft experiences (for them and
you).
WHAT WE DO - FOOD: Eggs are a very
diverse little food. They can be hardboiled, scrambled, made into omlets or
quiche. Try a few different preparations with your kids (make sure you let them
crack an egg or two themselves!) You can also try making our Rice
Crispie Earth recipe or our Eyeball
Cookies. Very Yummy! |
