This week, we noticed pictures all over the room. We had to wait for Large Group time to find out more about them. We were having an H hunt. First we practiced our /h/ sound. Then Miss Carrie showed us that she had a stack of pictures that matched the pictures around the room. We could take one picture, find the match, and then bring back the picture to trade for another picture. If we couldn't find the picture, we could ask a friend for help. Each time we traded for a new picture, Miss Carrie would ask "What did you find?"
After the Hunt, some of our friends said they had never seen a horseshoe crab. We watched and talked about a video of horseshoe crabs.
Some of our friends didn't know what a harmonica was, so we also watched a video of a boy playing a harmonica. We talked about how he had to blow into the harmonica as well as move the harmonica to make different sounds.
DO THIS AT HOME: pick a sound or a color and go on a walk or hunt around your house. How many things can you find that start with that sound or are that color? Talk about what you find together.
