A is for Alligator

This week at preschool we did A is for alligator. We read and sang Five Little Monkeys Swinging From A Tree and Open Very Carefully, about an alligator trapped in a book. We also made alligators out of A

Ate apples and animal crackers. Played a form of hopscotch where we hopped on the lily pads to avoid the alligators. 

And counted fish to feed our clothespin alligators. 

We also practiced writing the letter A and making the sound 

For our field trip this week, we decorated plates to give to our grandparents for Grandparents Day

They drew a picture and then we baked them in the oven to keep the picture on
