Today we finished up our letter Uu unit with some fun hands-on crafts! When we got ready for Centers, Mrs. Jones held up our last names so that we would know it was our turn to find a spot at the table. We are doing really well at recognizing our last names, and we're even starting to learn our classmates' last names.

At the first center, we cut out an uppercase U and created our very own unicorns.

We also honed our fine motor skills at our next center with some coloring and gluing on our paper plate fish bowls. Then we added the perfect finishing touch--a custom made hand print goldfish!

Emily was our leader today. She did a wonderful job helping us with our sight words, leading us in the pledge, and completing our morning sentences.

She also started us off with our favorite Friday activity--Show and Tell! She explained to Mrs. Jones what a Fidget is and showed me how she works. I love Em's facial expression as she gets ready to command the toy to dance.

The other guys and gals had some great items at Show and Tell, too. Check them out!

The most popular Show and Tell this week had to be Dean's new puppy, Biscuit. We each got to pet him and feel how soft his fur is. He is so cute! Thank you to Dean's mommy for bringing in the class' surprise guest!
