Using straight and curvy lines to build uppercase letters




Alphabet sort



Writing workshop: life cycle of a butterfly

How many treats gave the caterpillar a stomachache?













Jewels, jewels everywhere! Grouping by tens.





Graphing letters in our names.



Happy Birthday, Tessa! Thank you for the tasty blueberry muffins and grapes!



Show and tell time!  Clover made a Tipi and Tessa brought in her Terrarium. How perfect was that for letter T work!?!
