Week of October 19, 2014

The letter of the week was Ii. The students wrote Ii, made igloos for Ii, and learned letter Ii vocabulary words. At the end of the week the students made ice cream using 5 ingredients. The students loved making ice cream, and playing with the leftover ice once we finished the ice cream making process. We still talked about numbers, and weather. 

Here are some pictures of the students working hard.
