LETTER OF THE WEEK: C
On Monday, we began learning letter C. We learned these letter C words: cupcake, chocolate, car, cat, cow, calendar, candle, crayon, cookie, carpet, clap, clock, cricket, and our teacher, Miss Chloe, and our friends, Cobrin, Carly, and Charlotte. We read Career Day by Anne Rockwell. In this story, the parents of the boys and girls in Mrs. Madoff’s class have come to school to tell the children about their jobs. We asked the boys and girls in our class to tell us what kind of work they would like to do when they grow up. Their answers are hanging up in our classroom. Please take a moment to read what the children told us. For our art project, the boys and girls made cupcakes using shaving cream for the frosty topping.
On Tuesday, we read two favorite children’s books, both by Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Little Cloud. In The Very Hungry Caterpillar, a tiny caterpillar becomes a big, fat caterpillar. He builds a cocoon around himself, and shortly thereafter, becomes a beautiful butterfly. Since many of the children are familiar with this book, it was fun to have them read the book along with me. Little Cloud looks like a sheep, an airplane, a shark, two trees, a rabbit, a hat, and a clown as it floats through the sky. When all of the clouds became one with Little Cloud, it began to rain. For our letter C art project, the boys and girls made the letter C look like a caterpillar.
On Thursday, we read Kiss the Cow! by Phyllis Root. In this book, Mama May sings to her cow, Luella, thanks her for her milk, and kisses her on the nose. Annalisa would like to try milking Luella, but she refuses to give the cow a kiss. One day, Annalisa decides to milk Luella. Now, Luella refuses to give any more milk until she gets a kiss on her nose from Annalisa. Annalisa gives Luella a kiss and decides that it isn’t so bad to kiss a cow after all. For our letter C art project, the boys and girls made cars.
On Friday, we read A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni. All animals have a color of their own, except for chameleons. They change color wherever they go. A lonely chameleon, in search for his own color, finds a new friend who is just like him. For our letter C art project, the boys and girls made cat masks.
