Letter Ee

This week was kind of a weird one for us. First, it was a three day school week, so we didn't do quite as much work. And second, my printer was on the 'outs' so a lot of the pages I actually drew. So you are fore warned, don't laugh. I am by no means an artist, but hey, it works right? So I will be including all three days into one blog post. And as always we start off each day with morning meeting.

Day 1
books-



Big 'Ee' trace


'E' trace page


'E' Do-A-Dot page


Fruit Count- I got this page from a cheap 'workbook', similar to the ones you can get at Dollar Tree.


E is for elephant trace and color
she wanted to color the elephant with her pencil instead of crayons


Elephant count & magnet page- she had to count the elephants and put the same number of pom-pom magnets on it


Ee Play-Doh mats
I tried to put plastic wrap on these since I didn't laminate them, but we ended up just taking it off because it wouldn't stay in place.



Our craft for today was an egg carton elephant. I got the idea from http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/ElephantCrafts.html (who also has tons of extra elephant resources). They turned out so cute!!
I cut the pieces out and then I let her use chalk to color in middle of the ears.
Finished project




Day 2
books-



'E' magnet page



Count and circle- again this came from a cheap 'workbook'


'E' is for Elephant puzzle- I cut this into pieces and used as a puzzle



Clothes Pin color match- match the color word on the clothes pin to the color on the paper


Coloring page



Which is different?


Biggest of all


Elephant color and glue



Our craft for day two was a paper plate elephant. We painted a paper plate, toilet paper roll, and ears gray. Then you just glue everything on and add eyes.




Day 3
books-



Bottle cap match- using letters glued onto bottle caps (Confessionsofahomeschooler.com)



Find the E's- I let her stamp them with her Do-A-Dot markers



E/e sort (COAH)



Sequencing (COAH)
baby E is trying really hard to 'help'


Color by number- she did fairly well on this considering we've never attempted something like this before. (COAH)


Writing practice (COAH)
I guess I didn't get a picture of her doing this, but I but the pages inside of her Crayola Dry Erase board


Which is different?


Count and match to the number



Color match


Shape match


Since I have to do a hand print craft every week, here was ours for letter 'E'.

And that finished up letter 'Ee' for us.
