Letter of the week Z

We are finishing y today and moving on to Z.Not as in Zzzzzzz snoring! We talked about year.It is 2012 and asked what next year will be.I had to give them a hint of what comes after 12?There is 12 months in a year.Each month is broken up in weeks and days. I made a sign that said Yesterday was Tuesday.Today is Wednesday.Tomorrow is Thursday.Last month was April.This month is May.Next month is June. I found this cool little double sided board at Ross to practice writing and to use as my chalk board.Check it out it is sooo cute!

2 more days and school is out!

Are you ready for summer? Better start planning!My summer plans are coming soon to help give you ideas and to  help your kids have fun while learning.The best part is that they will not loose what they studied in school.


We are now working on l-x sounds for Lex and Ro is getting familiar with them.

What is black and white and red all over?

Now onto our letter Z as in Zebra. I found this cute Zebra puppet made from a brown sack lunch bag.It is found @ dltk-kids.com. You need your bag,white construction paper, printer to print template,scissors, glue and crayons.

Here is what you need to do:

• Cover the paper bag with white construction paper (just glue it on and trim) or paint the paper bag white and let dry.Color template whatever they want we used mostly black and red.
• Glue the tongue underneath the flippy tab.
• Glue the stripes (small ones from first template) onto the HEAD.
• Glue the nose (a big oval) onto the HEAD.  It should overlap the body a bit.
• Glue the eyes onto the HEAD above the nose.  If you like, you can use wiggly eyes instead of the paper template pieces.
• Glue the ears onto the HEAD
• Glue the hair tuft onto the HEAD

Water play with squirt guns and then sand.I had to get a new water tub because the other one got broken.

These zebras are wild and vicious as they attack Daddy!

Answer:A zebra with a sunburn!
