Hello, Letter "Q" is a bit of a challenge but when mixed with Valentine's activities it made for a very full week. We began by making a "Q"uilt. We traced the Letter "Q" with glue and carefully placed colored paper squares around the circle and slanted tail. We were a bit heavy handed with the glue so look for them to go home in backpacks next week. We made "Q"uicksand outside and played in it for a long time. Hands were wet and sandy along with sleeves but we didn't really notice because it was so much fun making our hands disappear. The book mobile rolled in to deliver a nice selection of books and Ms. Maegan informs me that friends are following directions and walking nicely together on the sidewalk to the book bus and using our "Q"uiet voice. We sang "Five Little Ducks" "Q"uack, "Q"uack, "Q"uack and played the "Q"uiet game. Sometimes we used our voice and bodies to make noise and others used instruments. By the end of the week everyone had mastered the "Q"uiet part but the loud parts were so much more fun-lots of giggles. Some of our snacks included whole grain crackers, strawberries, oranges, apple slices, bananas, string cheese, pretzels, angel food cake, Alphabet cookies that we searched for Letter "Q" and the first letter of each friends name, and lots of "Q"uaker oat brand treats. We read "My "Q" Book", "Q"uiet, Loud", "Q"uack, "Q"uack Giggle Moo" and "Little "Q"uacks New Friend". We sang the letter "Q" song after transition and some early Spring like weather made for great outdoor fun as we ran laps to see who was the "Q"uickest. NEWS AND REMINDERS: Sign Up sheets are out.
