H is for Hero

I am very pleased that it worked out that H is this week, for Memorial Day.  I am going to embrace this opportunity to teach The Boy about Hero's, i.e. military, firemen, policemen, doctors/nurses...etc.  I may even throw in a Super Hero (he LOVES Spiderman).  Here are some pictures of our Letter H activities.

Today we started the letter "E."  The Boy was very excited to get back into school.  We had a little break when my mother arrived.  To start the day, we did a review of all the letters.  I usually ask for him to point out a letter on his Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree, but he took them all off and I cannot find them. :(  So, we reviewed with the work he has already done (I keep it all in a folder and book).  Once we finished our review, I introduced the letter E and e to him.  He traced the letters, tried to write them himself and then colored.  The stickers he added to his letter page today were Eggs.   I was very impressed with his writing.  When we finished his E page, he traced letters A-E in his book and did a great job on all of them.  His D's look fantastic!!!  I am glad he is so eager to learn.  I hope this continues as he gets older and actually starts school.

D...again

We had such a full week last week that I felt like The Boy did not get a proper understanding of the letter "D," so we will be doing it again this week.  I think I will add the number 1 to his lessons this week.  He knows his numbers, now it is time to recognize them!!  Happy Monday!!

This is what The Boy did today.   I had him trace the letter D and d.  After he did that, he tried writting them on his own and did a pretty good job.  You can see them on top of the page, the first one was with my help.  He then circled all the D's he found in this poem I got off of Mrs. Jones Room.  He then drew a picture of a dinosaur on the bottom...can you tell! :)  He was very proud of his dinosaur.  The Boy did a great job on this.  Tomorrow, he will draw a picture of his Daddy to continue the letter D.

Today, I introduced the letter D to The Boy.  After a review of our previous letters, ABC, on our Tree, The Boy sat down and colored his D and d.  The stickers he had to add this week we of people dancing.  Later on in the week, we will make a Dog, practice writing d's, match D and d together with dump trucks, and one other activity I have yet to come up with.  So far, he has really enjoyed himself.  Here is what he did today...

I decided to start a Monday blog title.  Monday's I will be sharing The Boy's letter of the week activities. Two weeks ago, I started teaching him the letters of the Alphabet.  He has known his ABC's for a long time, but that has nothing to do with recognizing the letters and knowing their sounds.  This week we started the letter C.  On Mondays, I introduce the letter of the week to him.  He traces the letters, colors them, and then adds stickers that start with that letter.  For C, I gave him cat stickers to add.  Later this week, he will continue to practice writing his letter c, match captial C and lowercase c's by placing caterpillar's on eaten through leaves, make a caterpillar out of a capital C, and I still have to come up with at least one more activity.  I will try to post some pictures on this post as the week goes.

This is our Chica-Chica Boom Boom Tree.  I am cutting the capital letters in yellow and lower case purple.  Each week The Boy puts the letter we are working on up on the tree.  I just got it done last night and he was pretty excited this morning when he saw it.  It will be nice because we can review the letters we have learned.
