Letter of the Week – Letter K
Day 1 Find k stickers and put on K Color and assemble Letter K book (I only printed off three that I thought she’d like.) Go to library and get K books (finally actually went to the library, instead of using our own books…yay, for finally knowing how much time I’ve got between naps. 🙂 ) Scott started making Lego creations with A — she loved it of course. She is still learning how to use Lego and Scott is still learning how to let her do stuff, since she really doesn’t know how yet. But, they have great fun together. They made capital and lowercase upright K’s, kites, keys, a…

Letter of the Week – Letter I
Day 1 Find “I” and “i” stickers and put on I Color and assemble letter I book (I only use three pages.) Look through our library and get I books Put out I words (instruments, iPad, iPod, iPhone…I highly recommend using masking or painting tape so nothing is ruined when you pull it off) Video: Olive and the Rhyme Rescue Crew In about 3 min, I made some ice cream scoops and cones from leftover felt. We don’t have any good scissors around, and I didn’t use a template, so the results could probably be on one of those Pinterest fail lists. 🙂 But she enjoyed playing with them quietly, which…

Letter of the Week – Letter H
This week was a little crazy. She was not really into a lot of the worksheets. I think she only did a couple. I linked them still, but she didn’t do them. And, as I’ve said before, I don’t force her to do any of this stuff if she’s not interested. Apparently, H was not a letter she cared to get into. 🙂 Day 1 Find h stickers and put on H Color and assemble letter H book Get H books out of our library Hokey Pokey (she had lots of fun doing this) Starfall Computer Activity Video: Get Squiggling!-Letter H Day 2 Hopping Fill in H outline and h…

Letter of the Week – Letter F
When she was taking the “e” stuff down, she was acting all sad, so she left an “e” up. 🙂 (First time doing this with the baby around. So, lots less pictures an less activities that involve a ton of set-up. Still trying to get over the guilt of not having enough time for her. :/) Day 1 Find f stickers and put on F (She also got a sticky pad and made F’s on them and put them around the room for dad to find. And realized I could’ve had her help me make all the stickers. Duh!) Color and assemble letter F book Find F books on our…

Letter of the Week – Letter E
One of my goals is to work on not controlling everything…it took a lot of will power not to unstaple and turn the one sheet around and not redo the stapling of the book for her. (Note to self: be around when she’s stapling. 😉 ) Day 1 Put uppercase letter and lowercase letter (cursive and manuscript) on 12 circle stickers. Hide them around a room. Once she finds them, she puts them on a letter outline. Color and assemble letter E book (I only chose the three pages I thought she would like most.) Gather books from our bookshelves that relate to the letter E. Song: E Eats Everything Song: Everybody…

Letter of the Week – Letter C
This week we were dog sitting, so not many pictures, and not a ton of activities. This will be a very basic letter of the week. 🙂 Day 1 Put letter C and c (cursive and manuscript) on 12 circle stickers. Hide them in a room. Once she finds them, she puts them on letter C outline. (I used printed ones for this, but they were too big. By the letter D, I just made small handwritten letters on card stock to put the stickers on). Letter C book (I only chose three of the pages I thought she would like most.) Starfall Computer Activity Day 2 Bake Cookies Activity Sheet…
