2018 Week 4 letters Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll; Apples!

Happy Fall!

One of my favorite seasons!

We began our fun week by making another lucky duck book called "Whose Shoes?" part of our Pete the Cat theme. We are focusing on visual discrimination. Yep,  the kids are better than me at this! 

Can you guess?

All the kids' shoes will be in a lucky duck book coming home soon!

Here's our letter i snack....Instant Pudding!

(well, done, Mom, well done!)

Here is our last Goofy Glasses kid...

this is also a lucky duck book, a very popular one!

Thank you so much for all the Fall Science Table finds!

WOW!

We have many scientists in here so excited to get exploring!

I just love it when a game we play whole group is played in choice time...they don't even know they are learning!

Here's Ietter i morning message...yummy!

Did your kiddo play a trick on you?

I've got my "i" on you!

Ha!  They liked that one!

Oh man, we've been practicing rhyming like crazy lately!

If your k kid does not have rhyming down yet,  keep practicing orally daily.  This is an important skill for readers! 

Here's some of our new stations around the room:
