Umbrella Day!

This last week we explored the letter Uu. We started the week making pineapple upside down cake and then on Friday the kids brought their umbrellas to school. We start by giving the students rain name tags and showcasing their umbrellas.  We do math and literacy centers and an umbrella craftivity. We then head outside for an umbrella parade  and umbrella relay races.   We eat umbrella snacks under our umbrellas of course. We also sing some great songs that Kim made up!  We put all of these ideas, songs, and centers together in an umbrella unit on our TPT and our teachers notebook store!

Matching upper to lower case letters. Matching numbers together. Included are dice dots and number words for a bigger challenge. 

Umbrella Bingo. Use "rain drops" as markers.

Umbrella Week

It's raining, it's pouring... but we are not snoring in K4!!
"U" is our letter of the week, and we love to do events or thematic units based around each letter. We start the year off with our vowels. "U" week we bring our umbrellas to school and have our (orange slice and bended cheese stick in the shape of an umbrella) under our umbrellas, and then we go on an umbrella parade! We end our parade with songs like "Singing in the Rain", "It's Raining, it's Pouring", and "Pitter-Patter on the ground, raindrops all around". We love to have our centers reinforce letters and numbers in games we play.  You can get our Umbrella unit HERE!   Here are some pictures of our "U' Unit:
