Wacky Wednesday!

This past Wednesday I taught joy school. My letter was "W" and we had all sorts of wacky fun!! The kids were told to wear something wacky - I loved the mismatched socks and/or shoes, clothes on backwards/ inside out, wild hair, etc. etc.

During circle time, the kids took turns finding and writing w's in our morning message:

I had lots of "W" books but "Wacky Wednesday" was definitely the favorite! Everyone took turns pointing out all the wacky things on each page. 

I planned out centers that the kids rotated through - which was trickier than I thought it would be, but we kept it moving fast and everyone had a grand time! They counted watermelon seeds and matched them to the correct number (I had 2 of these folders) . . .

They walked the letter W:

Then walked up the lines with wide legs. At the two back tables we used Madi's globe to study the world, and also practiced writing W's on a white board.

Another center was looking at our W books on the rug (2 people could be at that center).

I served banana muffins with walnuts, and we also made waffles and ate them with whipped cream!! Yummm. . . . 

We learned about the Water Cycle, but I ran out of time at the end and didn't get to teach the water cycle song (which I was bummed about). 

It was a pretty wonderful Wednesday if you ask me!
