writing in the sand

Sand was always a favorite in my Pre-K classroom...for several different reasons.  I liked it, because it was used as a fun way to write letters/numbers, but the kids liked it because it was much more fun (to some) than holding a pencil and being drilled to write every letter, the same boring way...and it feels good on your hands :) 
We've been talking about the letter "E" this month.
I was chasing the little guy around and came back to find this! 
   
 Just shake and start over! how easy! :)
reminders for next time:  maybe take it outside since the sand tends to make it's way out of the tray :)
Make it easy:  just play in the sand, make shapes with each other
Make it hard: Can you write the letter that makes the /p/ sound?
