So we're kind of in the middle of the alphabet right now but we will circle back and pick-up the rest of the letters and hopefully get them all in by the end of summer!

Art
M is for Monster Jam Painting
We decided to make this an outdoor activity. I could see it getting out of hand really fast. It's really self explanatory but I'll describe what we did anyway.
You will need both a large piece of paper to make the painting on and something else to spread the paint on. We just happened to have pizza for dinner so I took the pizza box apart and it was perfect. I put a long line of paint down then added a little water to thin it out. Then the girls drove their trucks through the paint or "mud" and made tracks on the paper.
This was always a favorite activity when I taught Kindergarten and just for a side note Monster Jam trucks aren't the only trucks that will make tracks. I actually got some really cheap ones from Walgreens when I did this with my Kindergarten classes because I knew we'd be doing it over and over again all day and I wasn't sure how much the cars could take but even then it all came off easily with just water.
still more to come....
