Letter H Week
November 21, 2025
Dear TK Families,
It was a happy and humorous week in TK! We designed paper bag houses, experimented with ice “hockey”, and danced the Hokey Pokey!
At the Art table, the boys and girls had a great time designing their houses! First, we discussed the outside parts of a house. After coming up with some ideas, each child sat down with scissors, colored paper, and a brown paper bag. There was a lot of cutting and gluing! Did your child’s house have a chimney, a door, or a window? Or how about some flowers in the backyard? This house became the center of our neighborhood in the block area on Thursday and Friday. Each child’s paper bag house was a part of this community. Children used small blocks to add roads, trees, and other buildings in the neighborhood. Did your child play in this “community?”
At the science table, the children experimented with ice. We talked about the sport of hockey and how the hockey puck slides easily over the ice. Was your child about to get the puck into their goal? This was a big hit!
At the M & M table, the TK children practiced their equations while adding with hogs! They placed the corresponding number of cute pink little pigs into a cup. Then, they wrote out their equation using the + and = signs. How many hogs did your child add together?
Some other fun activities in the room this week included: Hungry Hungry Hippos game, horses in the sand table, and hammering letter H with hammers and golf tees!
Some questions to ask your child:
- Did your child play the HedBandz game?
- Can your child tell you what type of playdoh we played with? (Hot Chocolate playdoh)
- Can your child tell you what we saw at our science class from MA Audubon “Wild Tales”?
Next week, we will pause our letter of the week as focus on all things Thanksgiving and what we are thankful for 😊
Best,
Lynn, Mandee and Emily
