Alphabet Party!!

We had fun at our alphabet party today.  We have had a very busy day with all our activities.  We began the day coloring our nametag necklaces and then read an alphabet book on our big screen.  Later during our alphabet centers we "played" with our names.  We made our names out of playdoh, matched letter stickers to the letters on our names, built our names with alphabet Lego's, picked up tiny letters made of pasta with tweezers to make our names and matched clothespins with letters on them to our name cards.  During math we made a special snack with Scrabble Cheez-Its, Alphabits Cereal and gummy letters.  We sorted the letters and tried to make our names with the letters we had.  It was a lot of fun!  We ended the day eating our snacks and watching The Letter Factory.  We had a GREAT day!!

Have a great long weekend!!
