We asked the children "Do you have the letter O in your name?"

We made a "pretend pizza' using a round piece of paper for the dough , then we added red paint (with some glue mixed in)  for sauce and put paper toppings.  We had dry erase markers at the easel with alphabet stencils.

We also made our own real pizza for snack.the nursery rhyme 

We did "Hey Diddle Diddle", "The cool bear hunt" and " the sleeping bag chant" for music.

We talked about the letter O and the sound it makes.  We  looked at objects that begin with the letter O.

At the easel, we painted tennis ball shapes with the color yellow.

We had fun creating buildings with our new straw connector building materials. We also had small legos out and magnetic dress up dolls.

We used rhythm sticks and tapped them to the beat of the music.  We also tapped out the syllables in a word (door- one tap; umbrella - three taps)

We asked the children "What is your favorite sport?  We did a graph of the answers, the children put their name on the graph under their favorite sport.
