The Letter H

Week 8. The Letter H.

House and Horse

For our creative project we created a house and a horse out of the capital and lower case h's.



Lower Case h:
This picture above is a similar looking horse to the one we had our students create. Instead of paper mane and tail we had our students glue on pieces of yarn. The yarn created more of a 3-D look to our horses.

Capital H:
We made houses for our big H's. Students cut out the entire H and also the door, roof and windows that go onto their house. Just like this photo students were allowed to color their houses however they pleased.

h horse activity included:
- pre outlined horse's head
- pre outlined lower case h
- googly eyes
- scissors
- glue
- yarn for horse hair and mane.

H house activity included:
- pre outlined capital letter H
- pre outlined doors, roof and windows
- markers

House

The dramatic play area was set up just like a small house. We brought back in our kitchen set, baby set, and small table. To enhance the idea of a house we placed an extra child's cot on the ground so students can put the baby dolls to bed. Along with all the furniture, we had mom and dad clothes that the children could try on. This included boots, dress shoes, work gloves, dresses, shirts with ties, purses, etc.

Habitat

Children helped create habitats for our plastic toy animals. Students would group animals that were likely to live together and create a habitat for those animals. We had animals like whales and fish, camels and elephants, polar bears and penguins, monkeys and parrots.
