Letter A Work 

Letter A Work

Alex already knows all his letters, upper and lowercase, their sounds, his numbers 1-13, all colors (even the weird ones)…so we’re beginning preschool a bit early. He turns 3 on April 1. He’s just started showing an interest in tracing, writing, and making words!

We started calendar time back up again. The girls have a cursive notebook and Alex has his tot time notebook: letters, numbers, and shapes to trace. He LOVES it!

Alex loves to play Starfall with big sister. By the time I got the picture, he was already through letter F, oh well.

Starfall

Wikki Stix alphabet cards are super fun!

Here’s one of our favorite alphabet resources. It’s fun and comes with foam pieces to make letters.

How to Build an A book

We working through Raising Rock Stars Preschool, but also still loving the Animal ABCs. And of course, I didn’t get any pictures of Alex completing his A work for those! ugh

We ate lots of apples. The kids prefer Honey Crisp, which, of course, are the most expensive! We did an amazing apple unit back in September.

Tori helps Alex with the Letter A Find It bin. He found the pictures and she found the words.

Letter A scavenger hunt

Alex loves puzzles and he often takes a break from all our school time to sit quietly and do a puzzle alone.

And why reinvent the wheel when Carisa does such amazing work? Here are her letter A ideas…and a Letter A Pinterest Board

He loves All About Reading prelevel 1. Liz usually plays with Ziggy.

A is for alligator. Alex really liked all our alligator works.

A is For Alligator

5 lil monkeys swinging from the tree, teasing Mr. Alligator: “You can’t catch me!”

Along came Mr. Alligator, quiet as can be, and snapped that monkey right out of that tree!

Alligator and Monkeys song

The big alligator is searching for monkeys to eat in our science bin from last week.

Alligator Play

still obsessed with cutting paper…yes, that’s a pink desk. Hand-me-down from sisters. It’s ok because he’s Superman.

Apples! baby apple, daddy apple…and all those other ones. Eventually, Alex named them all after our family.

Apple sizing

cutting food is still a favorite

apples again! Alex really liked matching the A apples to the tree

They’re not really cherries…they’re apples, duh

This is how Alex ate his couscous. With a little cymbal clapping cow toy. sigh

Look! coloring and writing! for about 5 whole seconds.

Our Chinese New Year indoor “picnic” since it’s 26 degrees out.
Chinese Picnic
 
We worked on Letter N for Nests this week. Yes, I realize there is no rhyme nor reason to the order I am doing our letters.
 
I started out with Raising Rock Stars and got sidetracked somewhere along the way. I’m trying to work the themes with the appropriate weeks and holidays, I guess.
 
I’m saving K for Kites for March, for instance.
 
I had a hard time getting any good pictures because I was either interacting with the girls, mediating arguments between the girls, or dealing with the baby.
 
Alex is almost ready for Tiny Tot School! He turned 10 months old on the 1st of February and he’s wanting some action now.
 
We enjoyed lots of music this week. We listen to Christian music and hymns. We love world music like Putamayo Kids.
 
We really love our new geography songs that go along with our curriculum.
 
We also have been getting some fun CDs from the library, such as Beethoven’s Wig. It is hilarious!

We did M for Monkeys this week. I found these cute finger puppets at DLTK and we did 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed and the Monkeys Teasing the Alligator.

See our cool alligator? Big hit!

M is for Monkey

We got our monkey lessons from Confessions of a Homeschooler and a great monkey tot book from Carisa.

We got some great writing worksheets over at Home Grown Hearts.

We also went bowling, went to church, had an ice skating lesson, and went to story time at the local library.
