3. Science- "Blubber Glove"- We will create an insulated glove to understand why artic animals do not freeze in the cold icy artic ocean.
1. Mystery Bags- Children will need to use their sense of touch alone to discover what is in the "mystery bags".(uppercase letters will be in the bags, they will need to identify the letters by describing their lines: straight lines, diagonal lines, curvy lines)
2. Letter Awareness- Guess my rule? Each child will choose 3-4 letters that have something in common. (ie, all have straight lines, all have curvy lines.....) Then the other children in the group will try to guess what the letters have in common.
