Any other toddler school folks struggle with the letter Q?  We sure did!  I managed to find\/come up with a few good ideas, but overall it was a hard one for us.  Here are some of our activities from the week.<\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

She painted a question mark with Q-tips.  While she was painting we played the question\/statement game.  I would say something and she would identify if it was a question or a statement.  Then she gave it a turn.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

We made a Quarterback Q.  We talked about what a quarterback does and what sport they play.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Letter<\/p>\n

Muffin tin math.  I used this trick when I was student teaching and pulled it back out for Mikayla this week.  She put corresponding jelly beans in the muffin tin to match the numbers.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Letter<\/p>\n

Letter Q queen.  Mikayla insisted she needed a staff (where she got that from I will never know)!  <\/em><\/p>\n

I had intended to do a quilting activity with her, but we never got to it this week.  I may try and throw it in next week just for fun!  We also played a game where I would call out letters.  If I said Q she would run quick, for any other letter she would run slow!  Another game we played was she rolled the dice and quacked as many times as was rolled.  With the baby here this week, we practiced being quiet a lot!  For our snack this week we made a quiche together.  As usual, Mikayla loved rolling out the dough for the crust and pretty much forgot about the rest of it!<\/p>\n

All in all, not a bad week considering it was a difficult letter.  We move onto the letter R next week.  I am thinking along the lines of mostly rainbows and rocks, but we will see!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
