Letter C Week

Letter C Week!
Our main themes this week were carrots and corn!


Our literacy center featured the book, The Enormous Carrot.

The children compared real carrots and corn.

They illustrated what they observed and wrote words about their observations.


We explored dried corn and worked with standard units of measure.
(measuring cups)




We counted how many 1/4 cups fit in 1 cup.
We counted how many 1/2 cups fit in 1 cup.
We counted how many 1/4 cups fit in a 1/2 cup.

 We used our fingerprints to make ornamental corn.

We made carrot collages.

We read the book, Corduroy.
We discussed parts of the story.


Here are the Corduroy's we created in art!


  We graphed Corduroy (bears) in the math center.

We talked about cats and chimpanzees too.


Parker and his mom made this cool caterpillar for our snack.
It was a CRAZY week.
