LOTW D

D is for Dinosaurs...and daddy, and date, and doggie and DO! I love how smart my little guy is!! He's too smart sometimes, not to mention the smart mouth he has developed but everyday he blows me away with what he knows and what he is learning to do!

This past week we introduced and worked on letter D. Joshua LOVED learning how to make letter D as he says he can now spell dad, all he needs is a Y and he'll be happy to spell D-A-D-D-Y, but he has NO interest in spelling mommy, well at least learning to WRITE mommy...he knows that M-O-M-M-Y spells mommy and M-O-O spells Moo...and of course he knows that J-O-S-H-U-A spells Joshua!

Day 1
We colored...
We practiced writing letter D's

We did a letter D word hunt

We did a prewriting worksheet on writing letter D

And we traced over the letter Dd with colored cubes

Day 2

We worked on dinosaur size sorting, putting dinos in order from biggest to smallest and smallest to biggest

We completed a Do-A-Dot page

We used wooden disks to match up letters to create the word DINOSAUR

Madelynn says "Cheese" for the camera

We found the colored clothes pins and matched them to the number that was on each dinosaur card

Then we worked on some more pre-writing worksheets that had a bunch of different shapes and lines for Joshua to trace.

Day 3

We worked on making our D is for Dinosaur (Know I know My ABC's) page for our ABC binder

We used magnets to cover empty circles on our magnet page

And lastly we worked on on some cutting practice with scissors

C is for Caterpillar

Letter C starts some of Joshua's favorite things like carrots and cats, candy and chocolate! It also starts the word caterpillar, the subject of this week. Joshua has done AMAZING, yet again, with how quickly he is learning and how fast he catches on. He's totally a little sponge!! Check out what letter C week looked like!

DAY 1:
Joshua colored his "C is for Caterpillar" page

Worked on lacing around his CATERPILLAR in the shape of a C

And he worked on tracing letter Cc too!

DAY 2
We practiced writing letter Cs (Joshua does these backwards and I love it!!)

We also worked on some pre-writing pages to help with creating the letter Cc shape

Do-a-dot pages
How many CATERPILLARS are on the left?? Joshua had to count out the number of caterpillars that corresponded with the number I placed at the top of the page...he has gotten SO good at counting!
Moo took a turn too!

And lastly we worked on sorting different sizes of caterpillars...large, medium, small

DAY 3
We used bears and cubes to trace the letter Cc on pages. Moo LOVES this activity!

Next we worked on patterns...what comes next?Moving on to out Letter Hunt...circling all the letter Cc's in the paragraph.

Cutting practice

And finally disk matching...finding the corresponding letters to spell out the word caterpillar, both lowercase and capital.

DAY 4

We worked on 3 things...2 of which were art projects! Joshua made caterpillars using pom poms and cotton balls...

Next we worked on our letter C collage where Joshua glued CANDY CORN onto his letter C, Moo also joined in on this one

And lastly, we worked on writing our letter Cs again...still backwards :)

So there you have it, our letter C week in review!!
