Letter of the Week - Aa

 Does anyone remember the Letter of the Week project that I was working on back in 2017?

Well, it was a big project.  So big that I didn't actually complete it.  So, I decided to cut it right down and see how I went with that.

Let's have another go at it, shall we?

A Montessori Pack for the Letter Aa

Today I wanted to share my Montessori Pack for the Letter Aa.

I don't know if I'll make any more, but we'll see.

In the mean time I thought that it might be of some use to you if you are:

teaching the letter Aa,
or numbers to 12,
or doing an apple theme,
or ant theme.

It comes with an anchor chart.

Some 3 part cards in color.

 

The same 3 part cards in black and white to save your ink.

Some mini books for the children to practice writing.

Some counting cards.

 

Cards with no numbers, so you could match them up to the set before.

 

And there's an apple set too. 

It's 30 pages.

Enjoy!

Letter A Craft

Noah LOVES his painting and cutting so I also offered him this to do as well.

Pinterest is an awesome place to pick up ideas and links to free printables.

Noah Making a Craft for the Letter A.

Today Noah started his alphabet craft series.  He did amazing.  He painted and cut with the scissors with diligence, focus, and care.

How it looks in his book.

I can't wait for him to start adding more.

Letter of the Week - Add ons { Aa }

It's a funny little thing when you start putting worksheets together. It would seem that more and more ideas just come to you, in a steady stream, like a river flowing down full of glitter.  Now, while it is true that all that glitters is not gold, and each parent will have to determine what is gold for their child, it's nice to have that choice to do so.  Anyway, I digress slightly.  Basically, I don't want to waste these ideas, so I get them down and manifested on paper.

That's good for me,  That's good for you.

So today:  A word search for the Letter { Aa }

And one of the BEST things about it is that the wordsearch can be done with your DOT markers!  Yep.  How cool is that?

And in cursive too.

and well, truth be told, those littles are probably going to need to some extra practice when they first start doing cursive handwriting.

Catch you later chookies.

Preschool - { a }

Welcome to my version of Preschool - Letter of the Week for Charlotte { 3 }.  I have had a couple of false starts with her already, but that is mostly because I've been too busy with other children.   So hopefully this is the ticket, this time.  :o)

This week Charlotte and I did up this little craft for the letter { a }.

Her scissor skills are really starting to improve.  She did the letter { a } part and the gluing.

Some writing practice.

Another craft - scissor and gluing practice.

Find and circle the { a } sounds.

If you'd like a copy of this worksheet below just click the worksheet to download.

An ant on the apple.  First she painted the apple.  Then cut it out.  After that, we finished it off with an ant with googly eyes.

Sorting.

Another craft: Ambulance.  It was mostly free styled by myself, but then glued up by Charlotte.  I used some clipart for the little people.

Matching.

Another thing that starts with { a } is "axe" and so that became a craft as well.

Counting and Matching.

Another free styled apple by Charlotte.

She was copying this one as she went.

Counting and Matching.

And finally, some more writing practice.

Preschool { Week 4 }

Wow, now this is one of those weeks in History for Charlotte.

I've got a number of draws filled with random children's books that I just keep around for the girls for fun.  She found this particular book to be very interesting and came running to show me something extremely excited.

What was so important?  Yep, you see that little boy sitting on the toilet?  Yep!  He had caught her eye.  It inspired her so much that she had to go and try it out for herself.

And you know what?  She really did!

So her princess music making potty became a foot stool and the potty ring took it's place in the palace loo instead.

In the academic department this week:

Cut & Paste alphabet sorting for the letters /a/ and /m/.

Charlotte tried a new activity.

Ummm, well, yeah.....  more mess at this point I think.

Thanks for visiting.

Tot School Update

Well, my little cutie patootie Charlotte dolly has been super busy with life this week, oh and with a little school too.  Today I showed her / a / and gave her a little worksheet just for her.

I just happen to snap this photo at an odd time.  Ha ha ha ha.

I don't think for one second she'll remember the letter sound at this point, but she did a pretty good job at naming a couple of things on the worksheet.  :o)

I figure if she can get the basic alphabet down by the time she is 3 - we'll be in good running speed.  No rush, and if it doesn't happen, doesn't really matter.  We'll get to it one day.  I just figure that it's doable if I compare her to the other children in the family.  Don't worry, I'm not going to do a competitive comparing journey.  I'm just using it to gauge what could be possible for her.

Fold Up Books

Time to add some more mini fold up books. :o)

These are all the ones that I've got at the moment in this set.

Friday for Hannah

 

This weeks show and tell comes from Hannah 3y6m.

 

This was our 3rd week with working with multiple phonograms.  She has a nice little collection going now.

 

 

 

 

We got out some little red letters and made the sounds.  She quite liked this activity.

 

 

 

 

And of course I made a really, really, really big pocket chart this week too.  So we used it to put some flash cards in it.  These are Hannah's first 4 words.  I figured since she was doing so well with those multiple phonograms that I would start her on Rod and Staff 1 Reading.  More on this program in the future.  :o)

 

 

 

 

I also pulled out some little blue letters for her to make words.

 

 

 

 

Hannah really loved doing this as well. 

 

 

 

 

And of course we continued on with our sorting words as well.  :o)

 

 

 

 

Some more crafts with our multiple phonograms.

 

 

I'm compiling all these multiple phonograms craft pages into a file.  I'll be looking to share these soon, so keep an eye out for them.

And for revision and fun we did a quick little worksheet for the letter / a /.

 



 



 

 

And don't forget to check out yesterdays post with our Columbus show and tell to see our Columbus stick puppets, Columbus hats, and Columbus ships.
