Letter I for Ice cream!
We start with the letter recognition.
We lay out the letters (alphabet cards) that they worked on so far, which is A through I in this case. We place them on the floor and have the kids pick a letter, you pick one as well, (if the new/introduced letter is not chosen by the kids the adult usually grabs that letter) Have them run around and sing "we're running, we're running, we're running in a circles."
For Art Jar we made colorful popsicles. Please, see this post for instructions.
We created number order 1-5. Have the kids put the numbers in order and create a yummy ice cream!

Then you yell out "stop!" or "freeze!" This is where they place the card on their head and we ask: "What letter do you have on your head?" or "What letter do I have on my head".
It seems to work with our kids so far they learned their letters this way. 
Then we go straight into our do-a-dot activity. The kids dot around the letter I.
Next up is letter hunt. Sometimes I find perfect objects for our activities. How are these cute little ice creams I found for our letter hunt? One container includes ice cream erasers and the other ice cream magnets.
Find letter I on the page. You can download the page here.
The little kids are learning patterns. Go ahead and download here. If you are just starting patterns, say the pattern out loud and have the kids finish it with you. You can also have them finish it themselves, or if they are advanced, have them work on it alone and then review it after they finish.
You can download Ice cream 1-5 here.
For more math, we counted ice cream flavors.
You can download Ice cream counting here. Have the kids count the ice cream flavors and place the same amount of objects underneath the ice cream. We used small marshmallows because we didn't have enough magnets or erasers.
And how about making your own ice cream? Here is a link to a separate post that gives you detailed instructions. Yummy!
This letter was too much fun! Enjoy and don't forget to check out some of the letter I books listed below.
