This past week we learned all about the Letter L. After a few days of studying, I realized I completely skipped the Letter K! Oops! I guess we will make that one up next week! Here are some of our L activities.
We collected leaves and then did some leave rubbings. She had a hard time with this because she is still not pressing down very hard when she writes.
Then we painted with leaves!
She had some leftover paint, so we practiced writing the Letter L using our fingers.
Handprint lion!
Bead balancing – I made a mound of clay and stuck an uncooked spaghetti noodle in it and then she slid on the beans. Great fine motor practice!
While she was working, I made a lady bug out of the leftover clay.
A special lion lunch. I served with a PB sandwich!

Hand and footprint lobster. I goofed and put her footprint upside down, but you get the idea!
Ladybug fun. We made the paper plate lady bug and then rolled dice to see how many spots to put on him. When we were finished we just glued the spots on. This would be easy to adapt to addition by rolling a dice for each side, laying the spots on both sides and then counting them all together. Then we made a Letter L ladybug by coloring an L red and then gluing on spots.
Since Mikayla’s middle name starts with an L, I decided to work on spelling it this week. So, I made some letter cards and put them on binder clips upside down and had her put them in order. We will continue to work on her middle name in weeks to come.
Next week we will move backwards to the letter K, although I am still struggling with activities for this one…

Hi Mikayla and Beth
I love your lion for L and the Ladybug too. For the letter K you could make a kangaroo with a pocket then put things that start with K inside.
These activities are adorable! I especially like the food and the lion. Mikayla, you are SO lucky to have your mommy as your teacher! Love you very much!!
