Over the past week, T and I worked on the letter A. I didn't have much time to prep for this week, but I am pleased at how everything turned out. We checked out some books on airplanes and put airplane pictures up in his room, which he liked:) I printed a few large letter A's and let him color some. We also printed a magnet page for the letter A, and I tried to get him to trace the A by putting little pom poms in the circles, but he was completely uninterested in this. He also had no interest whatsoever in flying the paper airplane Daddy made him:)
We recently discovered how much T enjoys exploring his preschool activity bags. A few months ago, a group of about 30 of us each were assigned to make 30 bags of the same activity, and then we all met up and handed our activities out, so we can home with 30 different bags of activities for preschoolers. T had been too young for most of them until recently when we discovered there were several he is really good at! He loves matching games and is very good at them. One activity is a grid which has different foam stickers on it and comes with the same amount of loose stickers to match. During the 1st try, he matched almost all of them up! We have done this activity lots, so now he knows where everything goes but he still enjoys doing it. There is a similar activity of the same concept, except you match up letters, and he matched them right up. I was really surprised at how well he could do this!! He also enjoys his alphabet puzzle we've been working on. It comes with all 26 letters, and I think he has it memorized because he will pick up a letter and just put it exactly where it's supposed to go.
I am looking forward to our next theme of bugs. There are tons of neat ideas out there for preschoolers to learn about bugs, and we found 4 bug crafts that we are going to try!
