We started today by reading this adorable book! In the book the main character collects "raining" hearts one day and then uses them to make each of her friends a perfect card.
After the story Lillian made clouds out of cotton balls.
Next she put her hearts under the clouds as if it rained hearts. She insisted her "rain" had to be in rows.
Our main center for today was a post office. Lillian dressed as a post woman with her mailbag and all. Didn't you know Vera Bradley is now outfitting our postmen and women?
I bought these cute mailboxes at target and used magnetic numbers to label each one. (All materials purchased in the dollar aisle at Target!)
She then pulled the" mail" out of her bag and matched each letter with the correct mailbox.
After she put the mail in the box she put the flag up to let me know she was done putting in the mail. Looking back now I guess it would have been better to put all the flags up and then have her put them down when she placed the mail inside.
Smiles from the post woman!
Hard at work!
She did her job well.
We finished the day with our favorite center playdoh, cookie cutters, and plastic silverware. I have started collecting cookie cutters everywhere I go in order to have them for each theme so we had hearts of all sizes. Fun end to the day!
I want to be in your class.
