This week we are working on A. Yesterday we did bingo stamping of big A (see pictures below) the kids loved this because they use the bingo markers to stamp in the circles and create the A shape. I found some print outs online of the A shape. I'm not sure if they were meant for bingo stamping or not but they work great.
Then using the A outline I drew on their papers and the green squares of paper we used the glue stick and created the A. Then I gave the kids precut out triangles for teeth and they glue those on inside the A (turning the A side ways) then they drew eyes on the circle cutouts then glued those on creating the A is for alligator. We also read ABC book and worked on singing the ABC's.
Today we continued with A but using little a. Again we did bingo stamping of the little a this time. Scylla stayed perfectly in the lines today. I think the bingo stamping is Orson's favorite part of school (wish thank goodness it doesn't make to much of a mess)
Then we talked about the a sounds and how A is also for apple. Then we did scylla's favorite part the apple stamping. I took two apples one red and one green and cut them in half the carefully cut out a little slice on each side so that they had a handle. I put some red paint on a paper plate and green on another then showed them how it works and they went for it.
Given that we are all sick with a cold and of course mommy has the worst of it (between up all night with her self and the kids) I really didn't feel up to doing much school today but Scylla loves school so much that I had to do something. So after these few things I let her watch reading rainbow on making apple pie with her dad while Orson and I went and took a nap. (Well going to after this post)
I'll post more in the next few days on the rest of the week on letter of the week A.
