The Letter "A"

I really dropped the ball earlier this week in terms of taking pictures of our activities. Luckily I still have some of our finished products.

Each week we will be using the letter posters from ABC Jesus Loves Me to learn the letter of the week. For the letter A we stamped apples in red ink (of course!) inside the letters.

We also used tactile sandpaper letters that I got from Amazon and the chants from ABCJLM for learning how to form the letters. I put them on the wall at Caleb's height so he could play with them at any time.

And of course we had to use that yummy apple pie scented playdough we made to learn our letters, too!

I chose not to focus too much on the phoenetic sound of the letter, but Caleb picked it up very well. I'll continue to introduce phonics, but it won't be my main focus this year. I was just proud whenever he would point out the letter A on things around the house, in books, or while out on errands. I can teach my child! :)
