Letter B

This week Mr. Wheels learned the letter B. He loves to pant and glue. So for the art letter he glued small pieces of paper to the capital letter print out and painted the lower case letter. At the end of the week we made cookies. we made bar cookies because they are faster to make than individual cookies. we wanted to have chocolate chip cookies, these can't be rolled out and cut with the cookie cutters. So we cut them out just before we ate them. They tasted great! The top picture is him learning how to write the letter on our Letter School iPad app. I think this is the greatest app. He has fun and has learned many of them by himself. I don't work much with hand writing. I think he is to young, but this app does not feel like handwriting to him. After he masters the letter he places a sticky letter on his letter poster on the wall and then gets a star sticker on it. If he does the lower case letter he gets another star. If he then does the same letter again in my phone he gets another letter sticker.

Letter of the week cookies

This week Mr. Wheels study the A. Each Friday we are going to make cookies of the letter this week we started with peanut butter cookies. We found a gluten free vegan cookie recipe on the Internet. We were so excited because we didn't use any flour we could use garbanzo beans from a can. As you can see in step four to five of the picture my initial goal was to make cookies so that we can roll out and use letter cookie cutters that I have. Gluten-free cookie dough is usually quite pasty and it's more difficult to roll out. We decided to make regular cookie thenn use the cutter just before we eat them. I love making vegan cookies with my kids because they can actually eat the dough and I don't have to worry about them getting sick from the eggs. You can see how Mr. wheels is doing that in step eight. The kids had fun watching the cookies you can see this in step ten. Next time we add a little bit more maple syrup to the recipe. I also had a friend tell me to put them in the refergerator for a while then roll them out and cut them. I will have to try that too.

Letter A
