Tt is for tractors, trucks and tigers!

This week was a very busy week for us Kinders.  It was our Homecoming, apple week and letter Tt week!  It was a crazy but fun week!

We read a story Duck on Tractor.  We identified that our story is a make believe book because ducks can't drive tractors.  We turned our letter Tt's into tractors! 

Our letter Tt chart! 

Before we learned about the parts of an apple we brainstormed and thought about what could be inside our apple.  A lot of them either drew a worm, seeds or both! 

We learned about labels and what they can do for us.  We learned the parts of an apple and labeled them. 

Cutting our apples to do our own labeling activity. 

Center work: letter identification. 

Center work:  color words

Our letter Tt tractors! 

Our dot paint apples! 

More center work. 

Our dot paint apples and some apple handwriting.  They had to think of one thing their apple turned into.  They then had to write the word to complete their sentence.  Some of their ideas were: pie, applesauce, juice, cookies and bread.  

Our apple label craft. 

Taste testing apples!  We taste tested the red, yellow and green apples, apple cider and homemade applesauce!  It was all a huge hit, especially 

Our apple testing paper. 

Totally Terrific Tt!

This week is a fast and fun week - I apologize now for the lack of pictures. 

This week we focused on the letter Tt.  We started off the week by reading a story called: Duck on a Tractor.  It was a cute story to introduce the letter Tt.  After we read the story we thought of Tt words and wrote them down.

Here is our Tt craft - we made letter Tt tractors! 

Working on some sight word work: blue. 

We have been learning about nouns these past few weeks.  Here we are looking through and cutting out pictures to go in our noun book.  We had to find people, animals, places and things! 

Working on our color fall trees. 

Our letter Tt tractors up! 

This week the Kinders got to bring in a truck on Thursday.  The whole day we worked learned about trucks.  It went well with our reading story this week as well.   We thought of things that trucks can do and we listed them. 

Finding the letter Tt in our Tt hunt. 

The school had a surprise visitor from Kentucky - the reptile guy.  This was a great time since we just learned about reptiles! 

In this picture he is holding a six year old boa.  

A young python snake. 

Some iguana - I can not remember it's type of it.  It was a rowdy one though :). 

A 20 year old tortoise. 

We are building a town for our trucks!  Once we were all done we got some free time to play with our trucks! 

We went over out Tt words again and wrote some into our trucks. 

A truckload of Tt words!
