We used cccarrots to make cccaterpillars

Nn is for newspaper & nest

This activity was significantly more difficult than anything else we have done so far in kindergarten: the students had to copy a sentence on their own! 

 And we worked so hard to not get it backward...

 N is also for nnnnest. Just chocolate and chinese noodles here with some jelly beans:

Ii Igloos & Iguanas

The letter Ii is a tricky one, so we got lots of practice in. We learned how real igloos are build, then made our own with marshmallos:

 After seeing what a REAL iguana looks like, the students were really serious when drawing their own:

I I Iguana

The BYU Bean museum has an AWESOME outreach program where they bring animals to you. They also have great programs at the museum. During our study of the letter Ii, we invited them to bring the reptile show so the students could meet an iguana.

Touching the snake skin:

 Reptiles lay SOFT eggs

Crocodiles have pointer heads than alligators 

They almost dropped it- that thing is heavier than it looks 

 Crocodile skin is so tough that the only animal that can cut through it is a hippo

 An idea for a Halloween costume...

Turtles are reptiles 

I laughed when I noticed that the kids thought this snake was alive 

 Holy snake skin!

 Cuddles the snake -are you serious?

 Duke the iguana

 Iguanas are not good climbers and often fall out of trees. However, they can fall over 50 feet without getting hurt!

Kindergarteners often have trouble producing the /i/ sound. I hope the opportunity to meet and pet the iguana will help everyone. Ask your child what they enjoyed most about this day.

Our first field trip

We walked to Allen's, the local grocery store

 Here is the huuuuge oven

 The favorite part: Walk-in freezer

 A knight's armor- no cut gloves!

SSSSilly socks and sandwiches

In honor of learning the /s/ sound, we celebrated Silly Socks and Sandwiches day. 

 I was pretty impressed with how silly these kids can be

 We sorted our socks...

 and then the students were ssssserved ssssandwiches

We ate olives and sat by this door
