This week, Miss Carrie taught us a new game called Out In The Jungle. 

Binoculars UP!  (everyone pretends to hold binoculars to their eyes)

Out In the jungle, what did I see? (quietly move around searching for animals)

I see a........(drum your hands on your knees)

Then every one went to find a picture of an animal around the room.  All the animals had a /g/ sound in their name. Sometimes that sound was at the beginning of the word, sometimes it was in the middle of the word, and sometimes it was at the end of the word.  

Miss Carrie showed us how to make the sound: open your mouth, don't move your teeth, and the back of the tongue makes the sound. /g-g-g-g-g-g/.

Some of the animals we knew, and some we had to ask "What is that?

At the end, Miss Carrie showed all the animals on the Apple TV.  "Who found this one?", she asked.  "What is it?"































DO THIS AT HOME: Pick a sound and go on a walk or look around your house.  What can you find that has that sound in the name?  Take a picture or gather items to talk about.
