Letter L and Occupations

This week we got to learn all about the letter L. The kids did such a good job identifying words that start with L. I was very impressed with them! They also had lots of fun writing the letter since (in their words) it's "easy-peasy lemon squeezy"!

We have been having so much fun this month with all of our visitors coming to teach us about their jobs.

Last week we got to have Marcella Maher teach us about being a florist. The kids got to hold so many different flowers and help to arrange them. I know I heard all about the flowers (especially snap dragons) from my kids for days afterward! As part of her lesson, she asked the kids what their favorite flowers were and I was so impressed by all the answers they gave! Almost every student had a different favorite flower.

This week we got to have two visitors! On Wednesday, Jaime Flood came and taught us about being a speech pathologist. She taught the kids all about the different ages of people a speech pathologist works with and what she does with each age group. The kids got to learn a little bit about the brain, a fun song about letter songs and they even got to practice making the letter L sound. It was so neat!

On Thursday this week our visitor was Wendi Blair who came to teach us about being a fitness coach. She talked to the kids about what foods are healthy and about making sure that we are eating lots of different colors of food. She also showed the kids some exercises they can do to stay healthy. They had tons of fun!
