On April 27th we learned about the letter N. We started our day by going on a
nature walk and collecting
nature in our bags that we could use for our
nests. Even though it was super windy, the kids didn't want to come in they were having so much fun!
Finally back inside after
nearly being blown away, we glued our items from
nature onto our rolled down sacks to make
nests.
For a little added
nonsense, we made
neat footprint birds to go in them :)
We read lots of Mother Goose
Nursery Rhymes and even practiced reciting a few.
For snack, we strung
nifty cereal
necklaces. We used Froot Loops and Chocolate Cheerios. Maybe you can see the lines of cereal on the table that I used to work on patterning with them.
I got a little
needlessly perfect with mine :D
Next, we made noisemakers. We took so long on our nature walk and nests that Porter and Breck had left at noon, but we sent the supplies with them! I already had the noodles strung and tied on a loop of string, and Christian loved threading one end of the loop through the holes and putting the noodle through to attach it.
We decorated them with stickers and then made some
noise!
I had them roll long triangles of
newspaper (we used the comics) onto a pencil, starting with the wide end, and glue the point down with a glue stick. They then pulled the
newspaper bead off of the pencil and strung it on a
necklace.
Nice!
Lastly, I had them practice writing
numbers (or more correctly, writing
numerals) on a worksheet I'd made. Sierra did a great job and Christian decided to just draw a picture on the back {sigh}.
I'm pretty proud of the worksheet, all the
numbered items start with
N!
Those nests made out of found nature materials are awesome. The footprint birdies really make them complete.
