Color Unit Fun!

Our color unit is off to a wonderful start!  I have to admit, seeing the awesome participation of all of my kiddos wearing a "color of the day" is pretty neat!  I had my mind set to take a class picture each day of everyone wearing the "color of the day" and I forgot to take a picture of all the fun activities we've done!  It's already on the to do list for Monday!  We made cute cookie monsters on "blue day", shape monsters, and big green monsters on "green day!"
Here are all the kids wearing orange today!

Another exciting activity going on in our classroom is a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom letter exchange that I signed us up to participate in.  We have been receiving mail from kindergarten classes all over the U.S. with letters that they've created for us.  We place a sticker on our map for each letter we receive and then find the school on Google Maps.  It has been fun to compare our school with others far away from us!  
Our letter was Z, so we painted our Z's to look like zebras, added a wiggly eye, and a yarn mane.  We had some very creative zebras to mail off to our new pen pal friends.  Here are the kids posing with their Z's.
 This is what our map looked like before we added all of the letters we received yesterday!
We should be receiving the rest of the letters to complete our alphabet within the next couple of weeks!  So exciting!!
