X - cellent week with letter X!

This week we covered letter X. It's hard to believe that were nearly done with the alphabet! We began letter x with an X book and some tracing...

Then we glued some letter x items onto our X....

We talked about an x-ray and then made a pretend one using q-tips.

On Tuesday Ronan and Micah practiced letter x with "X marks the spot" and pirates! We did a flip book...

We did a look/find handout. The boys had to find what was different among the four items...

And we practiced making the letter X with pretzels and carrots. I first gave them two sticks to make the X... then I gave them 4 smaller pieces and had them try to figure out how to make an X. They did very well with it.

After a snack, we put on pirate bandanas and went on a treasure hunt!

They had to find numbers 1-8 and match them to the number on the back of the map. They took turns looking.

X marked the spot for the treasure box! Inside was a twiX!

On Wednesday Ronan was with Janell. They practiced making X with rhythm sticks. They worked on tempo and volume of taping the rhythm sticks. They also made a cool xylophone that worked on putting rectangles in order biggest to smallest.

On Thursday we did more with the xylophone... we did some tracing...

We played our toy xylophone and played a "copy me" game.

Then we worked with Ronan's name puzzle...

Then we read a Thomas book with an X in the title.

On Friday we did a listening game with a fox and a box. I gave directions as to where to put the fox and Ronan had to figure it out. I was impressed when he got the left and right sides correct!
