This week we did a letter E worksheet. Let me tell you, it was a little tough to come up with E words that they would recognize or that they wouldn’t things was something else. In the end, I think it turned out good.
I searched for a while for some new activities to do. I came across these number printables and figured since we had worked on number recognition somewhat last week, that it would be fitting to work on numbers again this week. I ended up printing out all the printables available and laminated them, then cut them apart. This week we only used the numbers with the colored dots on them. Then, I got colored pom poms at the dollar store, and we used those to put on the colored dots to practice counting.
Then, we did something more crafty, we made butterflies like I had found on Pinterest. You flatten a coffee filter, then paint it with watercolors. Once it is dry, you fold it accordion style. You cut a pipe cleaner in half, then fold that half around the folded coffee filter and twist a couple times. Bend the ends for the antenna.
This week I decided to start keeping the activity materials together in gallon size zipper bags, much like busy bags. I will have a post coming up talking about busy bags, the ones I have made, and some ideas for new ones.
