Mmmmm.....

What better way to celebrate M day than with M&Ms!!?! 

Since we just finished our COLOR UNIT, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to sort our M&Ms by color! They did a fantastic job sorting.... it took some concentration, but we got it!

Look at those beautiful fine motor skills at work!

After we graphed the M&M's we recorded it and gobbled them up!

 Also for Letter M, we talked about one of our Community Helpers.... the MAIL CARRIER!!

We started to learn our address and talked about why we need an address. Then we wrote ourselves letters and drew a picture for our moms and put them in the mailbox for the Mail Carrier to take to our house! What a surprise it was to see them arrive at our house!

Mmmmmmm.....

 To review the letter "M", we decided to make a collage of YUMMY THINGS!

 The kids whipped out their fine-motor skills that they have been working on all year, and found all the things that make them say, "mmmmmmmm" to paste on their papers!

M is for Mail Carrier!!!

Today we learned about our address!  We wrote a note to ourselves and drew a picture to our moms! We  learned that if we want to see our letter again, we need to have a stamp and an address on our envelope!

Together, we headed out to the mailbox, put our letters in, and put the flag up!  Cross our fingers there is a wonderful community helper out there to help get our letters to our houses!

Speaking of wonderful community helpers, we were SO LUCKY to have "Mr. Doug" (one of our fabulous dads!!) come in and tell us all about what it's like being a Mail Carrier for the United States Postal Service! He helped us understand the importance of knowing our address, and also what happens to our letters once we put them in the mail box! We are so grateful to have such wonderful people like Mr. Doug to help our community rain or shine!

  Thank you Mr. Doug!

 Afterwards, we had fun writing our letter M's on white boards and even creating the letter M out of our preschool snack!
