Last week we spent studying the Letter O. This was a fun letter and Mikayla really enjoyed the games and activities we did. And in case you missed my last post, Mikayla learned to write her name all by herself this past week! She is getting so big.
We made an owl family out of toilet paper tubes and scrap paper.
She practiced tracing lines, letters and matching pictures with this handy trick from my friend Lara. Insert paper or worksheets into a sheet protector and they automatically become reusable when paired with a dry erase marker!
Owl number match. The owls had dots that corresponded with the numbers on the tree. She had to match them up and glue on the correct tree. This is one of those games where I wish I had access to a laminator so I could laminate and save for future uses. It is one of the few number games she has actually really gotten into!
Octopus name match. Each octopus had the each of her names spelled out on the tentacles. It just so happened that each of her names had seven letters so it worked out perfect if I added the full name on one tentacle.
Here is a close up. I left the tentacle with the full name intact and cut the tips off the other ones. Then she glued them on in the correct order to spell her full name.
Another simple math game. She stamped dots (or fingerprints really) onto the tentacles of an octopus to correspond with each number. She loves anything dealing with numbers!
Owl letter matching game. The wings had capital and lower case letters on them and the body of the owl had pictures. She matched them up according to sound. To help her check her work I wrote the letters on the backs of the owls. I had intended this game to be a multi-use game, but she insisted on gluing the wings on so the owls could fly!
We made an O look like an owl, but I forgot to take a picture of it! We also played an opposite matching game that her Mimi and Poppy sent for her birthday. And of course we talked about the color orange and had oranges for our snack! This week we move onto the letter Q, a tricky letter if you ask me!
