The Letter F

Some weeks go better than others, and this week was a good week. We had a lot of fun and she was eager to learn this week. We did our finger painting project, making a Fish out of her hand print.

We colored her letter of the week, using a coloring page from Sesame Street, showing that "F" is for Flower.

I had written "F" on a piece of construction paper in preparation for our next activity and later found her tracing my "F." I was happy to find her practicing on her own.

We used that piece of paper, gluing Feathers on it to make the letter "F."

I also found a printable that she could color and cut out pieces, which we then stapled together to make a book.

We are still using the practice pages with the dry-erase markers.

I use every opportunity to work in repetition of our letter for the week. One of the books we found to read was "My Farm Friends."

And for her Bible lesson we talked about Jesus calling his disciples to Follow Him. We colored a picture and made Footprints.

Some weeks just go more smoothly than others. This week was not a smooth week with keeping her attention, but we still managed to get a lot done. We still did the typical activities with discussing our 'letter of the week' throughout our days and we read plenty of stories/books. She still played games at PBS.org and watched Sesame Street's "Letter E" clips.

We used the dry-erase board - she traced over my writing.

We did our finger painting, "E" is for Elephant.

We also made Elmo.

And colored a picture of Elmo and an Eagle.

For our Bible studies, this week we talked about prayer.

This week gave me new ideas on what I can do to change things up a bit to hopefully keep her interested. Just as she is learning things each week with her "studies," I am learning more about her and how to teach her in the future - so this has been a learning experience for the both of us.

The Letter D

Our week, as usual, has contained plenty of reading, Bible stories, games, and letter association for this week's letter and we are still using our practice sheets for learning to write our letters of the week. Here are some other highlights from our "D" week...

We made dinosaurs out of our hand prints...
