We made our own elephant masks to look like Elmer!
We did some cooking this week: elephant ears! Using long strips of bread dough, we curled up each end until they met in the middle in the shape of an ear. Then we topped them with cinnamon sugar and baked in the oven- yummy!
More colorful elephants appeared at the felt boards!
We talked about the long and short sounds of Ee for our elephant foldout books.
Writing is one of our trickiest tasks! We practiced with our dry erase markers and books. Since Ee can be so tricky, Ms. Heather also brought in her iPads so we could practice on Letter School. We rarely use any kind of electronics here, but every once in a while they can help us learn something in a new way. This app is a favorite, since you have to make the letter exactly right, and it doesn't hide the learning in a lot of extra game play. It's still really fun, though!
We took a break from elephants for a bible story this week: Jonah and the Whale
