Letter Aa- Day 1&2

This week we started letter Aa. At her age, we are just mainly working on letter recognition. After we go through the whole alphabet, we will probably go back through each letter with a more phonics based program. But I think for a two year old, this is enough for now. We started each day off with our 'morning meeting' which includes prayer, song, talking about the letter of the week, reading a themed book, a bible story, and going over our memory verse. Then we jump into our 'school work' as J calls it.

Day 1

Book-

First we started off with tracing. This sheet is laminated and J used an Expo dry-erase marker. I printed this sheet from Confessions of a Homeschooler website (where I get most of my material). She did very well on the capital A but had a little trouble with the lowercase one. I had her to do it a couple times and she slowly started getting the hang of it.


Then we did A to a trace. I put this in her Crayola Dry-Erase board.


Apple color puzzle. She had to match the apple pieces by color.


Do-A-Dot pages

Aa is for Apple coloring/tracing page. She did pretty good on the big Aa, not so much on the smaller words...


The last thing we did on this day was Play-Doh mats. I just had her put play-doh on the letters. Very simple but she loved it.



Day 2

Book-


Another Do-A-Dot page


Aa is for Apple puzzle. She needed a little help on this one, but still did pretty good.


Color the Apples. I told her the color and she had to color it on that apple. She got some on her own because the words were colored.


Pre-Writing Practice. I laminated these cards and put them on a ring. She used an Expo marker to do them. She really enjoyed this and asked to do it several times today.


Apple Cut & Paste. Again, I cut the apples out for her and let her paste them onto the tree.


We took a break after most of her school work was finished and went to our local library's story time. While we were out, I stopped in Dollar Tree and picked up some small tote bags, fabric paint, and foam stamps.  We came home and made this craft. J has gotten into carrying pocket books with all her little toys in it.  Needless to say, it was a huge hit.
Then she got to do one all by herself.


Again. most of my pages were printed off 'Confessions of a Homeschooler' website. I want to make sure she gets the credit for all these printables. I love her page and she does awesome work.
