Letter of the Week – Letter L

This week was a busy one for me. Not that I did anything, but there was a lot of baby caring for and less letter L caring about. 🙂

Fill in L outline and l outline with: drew lions and “L” stamp (leaves, lace, lasagna noodles, lemon prints: use cut fruit for stamp with yellow paint, lime prints: use cut fruit for stamp with green paint)
Put out L words (lamp, light, light switch, lantern…I highly recommend using masking or painting tape so nothing is ruined when you pull it off)
Created Lego with her dad

Letter to “L” person
Light: count how many lights we have and create a graph. I was going to do a tally graph like we did last time. So I had her draw a light and a lamp. Then she decided she wanted to draw lights and lamps each time rather than tally marks. Then we counted them all up and she wrote the total at the bottom.

Leg lifts (the ones done while laying on your side…surprisingly difficult for her.)
Play Chutes and Ladders (we have the old version linked here…it is great for a conversation on natural consequences. 🙂 )

Gather up any toys (animals are especially great for this) that start with the letter. Create a centerpiece and display the items.
