letter q

It was a little bit hard to get pictures of the q words we focused on this week.  We played more games then doing actual crafts.  I tried to at least get a couple so it wasn't only a word post.

Quick

We talked about the difference between running quickly and walking slowly.  

The little kids LOVED the rhyme that I remember from my childhood.

Slowly, Slowly
Slowly, slowly, very slowly creeps the garden snail
Slowly, slowly, very slowly up the garden rail
Quickly, quickly, very quickly, runs the little mouse
Quickly, quickly, very quickly to his little house.

you creep up their leg and end up tickling them.  They both asked for me to do it again, and again and again.

Quiet

I taught the kids how to 'play' the quiet game.  They thought it was pretty funny.  They can be quiet for almost 3 seconds at a time, and even that is hard. :)

Questions

we talked about questions and question marks.  Brielle is currently at the stage where she LOVES asking questions.  Why are they doing that?  What will happen?  Why can't I go in the Boys bathroom?

Quilt

Queen

 We read a book about the lifecycle of a Queen Bee that was very interesting.  We also played a letter 'q' game.
The Queen looked under the Quilt and what did she see....?
the kids would pretend to be animals and the Queen would have to get the animals to go back to the castle.  Very random, but they loved it of course.

Quills

 We also had a field trip to the zoo.  This is related to the letter Q because a docent had a baby hedgehog to show us.  She showed us the difference between hedgehog spikes and porcupine quills.  It was fascinating.
However, I didn't get pictures of that so here are some other random zoo pictures instead.
