Insects and Igloos

Letter "I" is a tricky one... here what we could make of it:

 This activity is called "Do A Dot" and you can find tons of templates online. I got my Bingo markers at the dollar store.

There was actual SILENCE in the preschool for about 2 minutes. 

You can even see the concentration on their faces!!!

We also sorted insects by color and by type

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.
