April Speech Bunnies!

Last week in Phonology group, the kids had SO much fun making their very own bunny ears that they colored and glued themselves.  It also gave us a great opportunity to talk about those important preschool concept words like 'under,' 'over', 'top,' and 'bottom' while we were gluing.




As you can see, the finished product was very cute!  The kids loved looking in the mirror at their new look and they couldn't wait to show their caregivers.  One of our friends even wondered if his dad would recognize him!  Using imagination is such a great way to support learning!


While we worked on our sounds, the kids got to fill out Egg Hunt sticker sheets, which was fun!  We found ways to incorporate their sounds into the activity and got to talk about how the various egg stickers were the same and different.  We read a book by Richard Scarry called "Egg in the Hole," about a chicken who lost her egg.  It incorporated more important concepts like "down, across, through, and over."  Afterward, the kids got to go on an Egg Hunt where they talked about the attributes of the items inside the eggs and also did some work categorizing the items.  Whew!  We accomplished a lot!

Just as a reminder, there will be NO phonology groups held next week (April 28- May 2).  We will miss you but will be excited to start the home stretch to summer vacation when we come back in May!
