So day 5 of A week,
We pretty much just went over what we had learned through the rest of the days, how to write the letter big & small, words beginning with A, with a in the word etc. K and F made an A board each with pictures and words of the things we learned about and a large coloured in and cut out A & a. They really enjoyed the Letter Board activity as it involved allot of craftiness which they both really love.
We also went on to do a craft set which F got for her Christmas but it tied in nicely for A week - make your own paper aquarium! Lots of glitter,sequins etc made for a slightly stressful time for mummy with Lil B trying to munch on them! She is just in at everything just now and wants to be just like the elder 2 its hard for her bless her but we try to involve her as much as we can.
I also used the white boards i bought (in poundland no less) for the first time on day 5. K loved this idea, he really enjoyed practising his letter writing skills and even went on to write some words hes now knows without my even suggesting it which was great! F learned to write an F so did a few of them but was back to her drawings quick as a flash - the apple most def doesn't fall far from the tree there! ;) I have to say though if these whiteboards are going to be used as often as i think they will ill have to invest in some better ones as F's fell apart after one shot. I know I know that's what i get for being a scrooge but I wasn't going to splash out until I knew they liked that idea was I?!
I also came up with another idea to go along with the letter a week type learning, I'm going to incorporate a book each either about say an ant or whatever that would tie in with what we are doing, i think this will help K as if we read the book each day he will start to recognise the letters and words :D
Till Letter B week... x
