Ice Cream & Indian Corn

Theme:  Letter "I"We met Ida Insect who told us about the 2 sounds letter "I" makes.  We learned the sign for "I".  We thought of some other words that begin with "I" such as igloo, ice, iron, itch, ivy, in, interesting, and into.


Game:  Build an Ice Cream Cone
We each took a turn to choose a "flavor" of ice cream and then added it to our cone.  We did the activity on the back.  Our ice cream cone ended up taller than us!
