Review of last year's memory verse from ABC Bible Verses

4 areas for the year to work with on our Letter of the Week (LOTW)- Games, Build a Letter, Tracing and Writing

Since the goal is to start writing, we'll work our way up starting with games:

Some are favorite activities from last year. We'll do this category when we have extra time

Build a letter activities

Tracing activities

Writing activities

Games:

Letter game in action

Visuals/ aka stuff to play with while we sing our phonics song or letter  writing rhyme/ aka things to occupy Doodlebug while working with Munchkin.

Building:

Building with craft sticks held together with velcro dots

Build a letter from COAH

Building letters with pattern blocks

Building words with the Word Whammer that start with A

Tracing: 

tracing highway letters with cars

Saltbox with the letter underneath the box to find and trace

Sandpaper letters, we traced with our fingers

Took a glue stick and made the letter/ number. Then sprinkled glitter and gently eased the plate around so the glitter would gather on the still wet glue. I did it the fist time. He wanted this activity several times. Yes, it was a mess, we'll probably do it outside next time.

 

Tracing with power magnets

Tracing with do-a dot blotters. We used the colors of the week only.

 Writing:

Writing with dry erase crayons

Window Markers

Writing: I wrote the letter/ number in chalk. We took turns using the wet q-tip to erase it.

 

I started writing the letter and number on the magnadoodle. M finished them. He wanted to do this several times.

Number 2:

Numbers Book

Education sube. I asked M to find the #2 and reminded him what God created on that day

Building number 2 with the geoboard - we did our  LOTW too.

Gross motor activity was playing Red light, Green light. Had to get a decent picture while playing.

The fine motor activity was peg puzzles and we did that as well. I just didn't get any pictures. 

Family fun:

Super fun company starting this week for the fall. Baby A will be with us 3 days a week.

M gets so excited to talk and help her. He 'read' a bible story to her this morning
