Letter Y

The theme we had for this week was yarn. A few of the books we read were: You Were Loved Before You Were Born by Eve Bunting and Karen Barbour, Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni, Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett, Farmer Brown Shears His Sheep by Teri Sloat, This Next New Year by Janet S. Wong. We also read Sometimes Y by Mary Elizabeth Salzmann.

Vocabulary words were yo- yo, year, you, yes, and young. We also looked at the color yellow with Hello, Yellow by Christianne C. Jones and Colors All Around Us: Yellow by Daniel Nunn.

Our sentences for the week were:
You are loved!
Where is the yarn?
Do yaks yodel?
The sun is yellow.

Our Bible verse was from Genesis 16:13, "You are the God who sees."

For science we had a yellow warbler, a yak, and yarrow flower up.

For art time we did some yarn painting. We put the yarn in paint, placed it on half a sheet of paper. I folded the paper in half and then we opened it up. The girls had a mirror image of the yarn paint. We also took some yarn around card stock and wove construction paper through it to make a weaving. The girls really enjoyed the yarn weaving.
