Letter Gg

We had a great week learning the letter Gg!! On Monday we talked about GROWING. We did a puzzle and talked about ways to keep our body healthy so it can grow. The kids were weighed and measured and timed and never got competitive with each other until I measured how tall they were. They all stood very straight to give me an accurate measurement;) We had GRAPES and played Duck Duck GOOSE and Stop and GO outside while we had a few minutes before it was time to go home. Here are the kids from shortest to tallest. They all looked up to Emily to see how tall they would be some day:)
On Wednesday we had a great day celebrating Riley's birthday! We read a lot of Gg stories all week which ended up being my favorite time to talk to them and have fun. We focused on writing the letter Gg and also our first and last names. I was so impressed that they all did very well and all tried to do their best work. We had a Gg scavenger hunt and found a bag of GOODIES for our snack. Then the balloons came out and they had a fun time tossing them around. This is when I lost all control so I let them have a 15 minute recess:) After recess I got them hyper with their candy and we got to work playing hide and seek. Then we tried the sock hop. All of the kids had to get on their hands and knees and try and pull each other's socks off. The last one to have theirs pulled off wins. They LOVED this except Caleb was very sad when his got pulled off. He just wanted to do all of the dirty work! What a great group of kids! I am having so much fun getting to know Caleb and Emily and Linzie.

The balloon chaos!!

This is where Claire and Ava were found. In the top of Riley's closet. I promise I am supervising your kids!! Just didn't think to look on the top shelves!!
