A is for...

(i try and find objects and subjects my kids are interested in to help make an impact...)

we made these ...
A is for Apple and ANTS!

1)cut out and glue an apple onto paper then paint on the stem.
2) trace hands and then write an upper and lower case A on each.
3) then covered it with ANT stickers!)

Ivy LOVES bugs and anything crawly.

so we went in the back yard and went on an ANT HUNT!
** bring your camera, a magnifying glass or a jar so they can get a closer look.

WE FOUND SOME!
(click pic to enlarge)

can you think of another bug that starts with A?

ARACHNID!....
Yep we found some of those too!

When we came back inside we did an ABC connect the dot of an Arachnid!
which the kids then colored in.

we also made
marshmallow arachnids
out of:
big marshmallows
spaghetti sticks
M&M's

William is really fascinated by outer space right now
so we talked about ALIENS and Astronauts

he made up this story:

once there was a little alien named GoobAgoob, then down came an astronaut spaceship!! that was big and fat! with yellow and white lights! and 2 rockets on the wings. with fire coming out!

when the alien saw the space ship, he crushed it with his 4 small, strong hands.
but the astronaut flew out of the spaceship (that landed on the planet Mars)

So he flew to the transformers who came and helped the astronaut push the aliens off of Mars. then they flew away!

the end

then drew a picture to go along with it!then we played A build an alien friend game.

so class what have we learned?
A is for....?
