Letter Nn

Monday was our first field trip. We dashed over to the mall and sat on St. NICK's lap. They played at the indoor playground and I thought got all of their energy out until we headed back to our house and found that wasn't the case! I think it did the opposite...they were hyper! We practiced writing the letter Nn and then glued cotton balls onto St. NICK's beard and hat while they ate candy canes. We ended the day with some Christmas stories.

Wednesday was a little more productive. We focused on being NURSES and we wrapped up each other's broken arms and legs. We also took each other's temperature and gave shots. What great nurses we have! We talked about that an animal doctor is called a veternarian and we brought in the rabbit to practice our skills on him as we wrapped up his paw. The kids thought this was awesome to have permission to pester an animal:) (I think he just loved having attention). We practiced washing our hands while singing the abc's and we did exercises to stay healthy.

We worked on a worksheet with things that start with the letter Nn. We talked about "an apple a day keeps the doctor/nurse away" and we had apples for our snack. During snack time we went around the table and tried to rhyme with each other. They are starting to get the idea of rhyming:) After snack we had fun playing alphabet bingo. We ended our day with some winter stories!
