Davin's class had a "letter parade". Throughout the year they have been working on learning the sounds each letter makes. He and his classmates had to decorate a shirt with the letter they were designated and have an item that represents the letter. Davin picked O. He used an octopus because it had to be the short O sound. Matt helped him draw and paint an octopus out of cardboard. Of course, the other kids had to get involved as well!
Davin decorating his shirt with the letter O. He suffers from really bad allergies in the spring so his face and his eyes look a little funny here.
Sophia wanted to help by making a shirt of her own.
All of the parents and several of the younger elementary students came to watch each of the kids present their letters. They also had a song that went with each letter.
After the parade the kids were supposed to pose for a picture. You can't expect a lot out of 5 & 6 year olds, but notice most of the kids are sitting nicely trying to look at one of the many parents taking pictures...then there is Davin and his friend Matthew.
