"C" Week

It's "C" week over here at Planker academy.  Here's a glimpse into some of the C-focused activities we've enjoyed...

C is for CIRCLE...

...which we used to make COLORFUL CATERPILLARS...

Of course we couldn't stop with just one...

CUTE, huh?  Our alphabet books are coming along nicely.

We read the Hungry Little CATERPILLAR by Eric Carle tons of times this week too.  

C is also for CORK, which we used to paint fall trees...

....we had fun learning about fall trees as well.  There's a fantastic sesame street episode on deciduous trees which we enjoyed this week.  Made me want to get out of Florida for a bit this fall.  Anyways...

C is also far CAR.  We made a raceCAR of course and we've been playing with it all week...

Often the simplest things end up being the most fun.  Case in point...

...do you see that giant smile???  Love it!!!

Their favorite line is "Ladies and Gentleman, start your engines!"  

I see a trip to a race track in their future :-)

C is also for CUPCAKES, which we made for our dear friend and music teacher's birthday... 

These boys sure do love using the mixer...

...we made some banana muffins while we were at it too.  C is for CUP which we used to do our measuring.  Fractions were a bit advanced for us but we sure had fun dumping. :-)

C is also for CLOUD painting (just mix glue with shaving cream and have at it)...

...which we tied in with the book Little CLOUD by Eric Carle... 

And last but not least, C is for COTTONBALL races... 

...which we highly recommend.  SO FUN!!
