Letter T and other Learning Activities!

This week we learned the letter T.  Allie continues to love the slide shows for the letters. They are so great because they are colorful and keep her interest- while teaching her! Plus, they review at the end the weeks before. It is a great way to keep those things fresh! :)  She asks to do them often!  We do them at least five times a week- sometimes more. I also like to hop over to st.ar.fall to see their slides on the letter we are learning/review the ones we've done. She loves those as well

This week we went to ses.eme.street 's sight to play some of their games too. She tells me what choices to make and I control the mouse and move the things where they need to go for her. She LOVES this! :)  

Surprisingly, we didn't do much extra with the letter T- except twinkle twinkle little star. We made a star wand and sang the song. She sings it well. 

Here are some of the other things we did. 

Her name puzzle. She has the yellow one as a model and has green letters to match with it. She has a hard time when the letters get flipped over making them go the right way, but overall does really well. She knows how to spell (by saying outloud) her name. :) She is also recognizing it in print now! :) I'm working on 1-1 matching with her- pointing to the letters as she spells it. She knows most of the letters (what they look like) in her name- but not quite all of them yet. Some- the n and the i are still a little tricky. 

 We also pulled out her alphabet train. We hadn't done this for a couple weeks, so we did that this week... :) She does good at matching them. If she gets stuck, we sing the song, and she knows what comes next. :)

 Finding letter tiles in the box of beans. She thought this was fun.  I told her there were three t's buried in the box. I asked her to find them. She did pretty good. The last one she got tripped up on, but with some help she found it. :) I had other letter mixed in with the t's.

 I don't think this is a complete set. It was on the give away table at school one spring.

 Practicing her cutting skills. She now has the hold of the scissors down without help. :) She LOVES to cut! :) Check out her tongue...hard at work concentrating!

 Cracks me up! :)

 Her twinkle wand for our song. ;) We made it with glitter!: )

We also did her Tt folder and coloring book.  (and the Ll ones we forgot last week). 

The ABC train....and our 1-1 matching of the letters as we sing. :)  Gracie distracts at the end barking at something... :)
