Letter L

Little Guy was estatic that it was finally time for Letter L week, because that meant Lightning McQueen!  I thought it would be fun to make a some L's out of Lightnings, and so did Little Guy.

We did some love themed activities on Valentine's Day, which you can read about HERE.

We did the Letter L writing practice page from Confessions of a Homeschooler.  I had Little Guy do it on the easel this week to change things up.  Sometimes, it's easier for kids to write upright rather than on a table.

Then, we did some ladybug math.  I cut ladybug shapes and small black circles out of construction paper, decorated the ladybug shapes, and wrote a number on each one.  I set out the shapes and dots, and had Little Guy add the corresponding number of dots to each ladybug.  It was honestly much too easy for him.  I was thinking more of fine motor work, which we definitely need more of around here; but as for the numbers, 1-10 is just wayyy to easy for Little Guy.

After reading Llama, Llama, Red Pajama (one of Little Guy's favorites), he did a red pajama lacing card.

This week we read:

Llama, Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney

(we both love this book!)

The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper

(classic.  We followed it up with the movie, which is really cute too!)

The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle

My L Book by Jane Belk Moncure

Disney Pixar Cars Loud as Lightning

(unless your little one loves Cars, they may not sit for all of this one since it's kind of long.  Little Guy loved using the interactive Lightning McQueen on each page.)
