Letter O Week

February 13, 2026

Dear TK Families,

It was an outstanding week as we got messy with orange oobleck and counted octopus tentacles!

We read the book Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss. This is a story about a king who wants something different to fall from the sky. He summons his magicians and they make this substance called oobleck. So, we decided we would make oobleck! And of course, being O week, we made it orange! Ask your child what 3 ingredients went in to it. (Cornstarch, water, and orange food color). This sticky mess was a huge hit!

 

At the math table, each child created their very own octopus! First, they cut out eight tentacles out of construction paper and glued it on their octopus body. Then, they added the corresponding number of stickers on each tentacle. So, if it was the 3rd tentacle, they added 3 stickers! Did your child make an octopus this week?

A few questions to ask your child:

  1. Can your child tell you about the new game we played called “The Orange Game?”
  2. Can your child tell you about the Dancing Heart Experiment?
  3. What decorations did your child add to their Valentines bag?
    ​
    We will be popping on over to a phenomenal P week right after vacation!

Have a fun and relaxing vacation!

Best,

Lynn. Mandee and Emily
