Where Do We Find Letters?

Hello Families!  I know change is coming and it feels different, so I hope you will be able to make this afternoon's meeting and we can answer any questions you will have. 

Here are this week's Insprirational internet discussion topics:

Tuesday we looked at a dance from China.  This has a lot of "How are they doing it!?" involved!  The friends really thought about it and realized it had to be many people working together.  They even practiced how you could do this.  Also, some friends were trying to disect the lighting set up to make the costume seem like it was changing.  It was facinating.

Thursday we looked at a video of a bee.  We have been talking about these lately, and we realized this was a safe way to look closely at a bee's business.  The friends are still trying to discuss and break down their ideas of what the bee's jobs are.  They were trying to figure out how nectar, pollen, honey, flower growth and baby bee growth works with all these factors.  The kids still want to discuss this more, maybe looking at it again will help?

And today we looked at some interesting alphabet images that I have collected off the internet.  We were noticing that letters can be found in many ways.  The friends were thinking about where they might find letters in their neighborhood and in their daily travels.


Thank you for sharing your children with me~!  Love, Jennifer

  3. That is an imaginative way to get the kids to see letters in ordinary, everday things around them.
