Letter B - as in BATS , BEARS , and Bees

Here are our art projects that reinforced our work with the letter B.

1. We started with some books on BEARs

We read Alphabears, some Berenstain Bears, Snow Bears, Polar Opposites.

2. Then we made some chocolate pudding because it is B-B-BROWN.

3. Next all 3 boys fingerpainted with brown pudding their B-B-Bears. (yes, they ate the rest after they cleaned up.)

**Fantastic Fine Motor and Sensory Skills**

4. We let it dry and I cut them out (during naps) and then we glued on B-B-Buttons for Eyes and Nose.

We also did a B-B-Bat painting project that was 3 D as we attached it accordian style to create a bouncy, boingy bat. We tried to use colors that started with the B sound.

We read 5 Little Bats... , and did a B handwriting sheet from

**I used these for the bat Handwriting sheet and the bee sheet**

Our Last project was the B Bee.

I cut out a "bubble" B. They practiced writing it with yellow and orange. Then they painted the Bee yellow. We let it dry, and I cut it out while they cut strips from black construction paper. They counted their strips and glued them on. We added wings, attennas and a face after we glued it on a piece of construction paper.

Here was our busy week.

**Our favorite book of the week was :
