Week 21

One of the cutest craft projects yet! She worked hard on this one and was very careful with the coloring, I cut it out and she glued on the parts in the right places. This little tiger has personality!

Week 20

Our Focus:

Finally! S week! We've been waiting a long time for this letter. It's the one letter in her name that she has a hard time writing on her own. They usually end up backwards and often have a few too many curves. I thought this snake we made for her alphabet craft would have been fun, but it ended up being a little tedious. I printed and cut out this snake shaped like the letter S. Aislinn colored it and glued it to the construction paper. We should have stopped there, but I thought it would be fun to add String to our S Snake. I'll give her credit, she put on about 50% of the string before wandering away. The rest was added by yours truly.

Week 19

Our Focus:

She's following in her brother's footsteps and flying through all of my planned activities and begging for more. We're getting through 2 or 3 letters each week! This week's alphabet project was tons of fun. We made a Rainbow out of Rice! Color dry rice with food coloring and glue to paper! It's just that easy. And yes, it's just that messy too. We did this project at playgroup instead of at home. The little ones love it!

Week 18

Our Focus:

I thought Q would be a hard one, but it went surprisingly smooth! She loves writing the letter, "an O with a tail." For the first time she wrote some on her own, after practicing on her tracer pages, normally I only have her do two of each letter on her own and let her trace the rest. She was making Q's all over the place! Her writing is becoming very smooth and fluid and she's writing her name on her own (although the S is still backward with an extra bump).

Our alphabet project this week was a felt Quilt glued to paper. I just wish I had more colorful felt on hand...
