Week Twenty-Eight--Whoo-Whoo?

Theme: Nocturnal Critters
We learned two new words: Nocturnal & Diurnal
Each child took a turn choosing an animal and then placed it on the Diurnal or Nocturnal Chart.

Letter: O
Letter "O" makes two sounds. We had fun practicing the sounds and writing "O". We learned the sign for "O" and we used our body to make "O". We thought about what "O" shapes are on our bodies. I'd been thinking "eyes", the kids surprised me by showing me their belly buttons :)
Some also said that our heads are "O" shaped, while others thought our heads are more rectangular. Great Observations!!!
