Letter F

This week we studied the letter F. This is just a few of he the fun activities we did. 

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.

Painting

Mr. Wheels loves to paint. Today I just pulled out a marker and made a 3x3 grid on the paper at the easel. He picked the color he wanted to use I wrote the word in a square and he painted it. He didn't didn't always stay in the lines, but that is OK. He knows his colors pretty well because of an IPad app that I found: Shapes Toddler Preschool. He can also learn his letters, numbers, and shapes. The shapes portion is free, but you can add colors, numbers, and letters for about $0.99.

At first my goal for this activity was to keep him busy while his sister did her school work, but I realized this was a good activity for a lot of reasons. He was developing his fine motor skills, decision making, word differentiation, wow lots of cool stuff.
