Letter U Activities

Letter U week was filled with fun and exciting things. We were learning about the United States of Ameria and some important symbols we use. We had umbrella day, big underwear day, upside down down...oh my!  

Though out the whole week we learned a new symbol each day.  We discussed the flag, bald eagle, Statue of Liberty, liberty bell, and the White House. 

For umbrella day,  we made umbrella patterns, read the book The Umbrella Queen, painted our own umbrellas and write descriptive sentences about them, and got to use them to eat under with our book buddies. 

For upside down day we read e book George Upside Down. Then we got to practice drawing and writing upside down. After our fun time writing we made pineapple upside down cupcakes for us to snack on later. 

Don't you just love the letter U?!

Book Buddies

Each year my class partners up with another class to have book buddies. This year we are partnered up with Mrs.  Mulligan's third grade class. Through out the year we will meet and do all kinds of things together. The first time we got together we got to know each other. We partnered each kindergartener to a third grader. Then we gave the. Some time to talk and get to know each other. 

After our first week of getting to know each other our third grade book buddies came to visit us again. This time it was Letter U week in kindergarten. So we had our umbrellas with us.  Our book buddies read to us as we sat under our umbrellas. The students loved umbrella reading with our book buddies.
