We had a very fun week studying the Letter S!  We still have a few activities to do this week that we will intersperse with our Letter U study!  Here is what we were up to this past week.

Letter S and birds 001

I laid out our owls from a few weeks ago with letters on them and I would call out the letter I wanted her to find.  She would slowly walk over to the letter and "swat" the owls!  She had a lot of fun playing this game.  Could be played with any type of flash cards too.

We researched starfish and learned a lot about what they look like and how they moved.  Then we made a starfish to hang on the window made from cardstock, cheerios, and suction tabs.

Letter S is for Stars.  She put star stickers inside an S and then counted out star stickers to match the numbers in the circles.

I poured salt in a pan and then she made various letters in the salt.

Then she decided Mickey and Donald needed to play in the salt too!

She made a square man by gluing various sizes of squares together.

Letter S is for slithering snake!

For our food item this week we made scrambled eggs.  She pretty much did it all by herself.  I helped a little with cracking the eggs, but she did the rest…

…even scrambling in the pan.  Don’t worry, I was right by her side the whole time!

Letter S and birds 018

S is for straw and sticks!  We used old yogurt cups to make the three little pigs homes.  I used pink binder clips for the pigs and a blue one for the wolf.  She has loved retelling the story of the three little pigs over and over again!

Here she is retelling the story.

S is for sick…on Friday she wasn’t feeling well and so instead of having school we watched movies!  She is feeling much better now though.

Since we already did the Letter T at Thanksgiving, we will move on to the Letter U next week!
