We made Oobleck from the Dr. Seuss book Barthlemeow and the Oobleck this week. The kids were a little unsure about this one. It's a combination of starch and water that is a "solid" when you touch the surface, yet a "liquid" when you pick it up. This led into a great science discussion about solids, liquids and gases.

 Writing the letter Tt. 

 

Letter Tt dot to dot: most of the kids have mastered using the paint dot! This easier for some of them to for identifying letters and numbers in a group. It's also one of their ways to paint:  )

 

 Beginning sounds practice. We went through the letters we have introduced this year: M, S, V, R and now T. There were pictures for each letter and each student had one letter in front of them. When I held up the picture they would have to tell me which letter bowl it went into.  Later in the week this also became a self work center.
