Show N' Teach: K words (or sounds)
Savannah: Caterpillar named Rainbow, Eli: Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, to "knock" out opponents. Eli also suggested a key to a shed at Grandpa's ranch. Ellie: Snowman's body. She also suggested kites begin with K. Hugh: brought in a monster named Kick.
Other "K" words we thought of as a class: kitty, Karate, kids, kicks, kiwi fruit, Kindergarten, etc. (We talked about how K is a tricky letter because it can sound like copycat C in some cases.)
K the Kicking Kangaroo Art Activity:
We worked on our Kicking Kangaroos art project. K is a Kangaroo who practices Karate and says "k-k-k" while kicking. This was a fun letter to work on because it used a brad and had moveable parts!
*Parents, please help your students practice cutting (with confidence) with scissors.
