We had a short week studying the letter Y, but I think Mikayla caught on pretty quickly and now loves finding Y’s all over the place!<\/p>\n

\"Letter<\/p>\n

She practiced cutting yarn and then ordering it from largest to smallest.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Letter<\/p>\n

Then we glued the yarn pieces onto a Letter Y.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Letter<\/p>\n

She went on a yellow hunt around the house and found things to make a yellow collage.  She is such a fan of this sort of activity.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Letter<\/p>\n

This is a variation of letter hopscotch.  I made boxes on the sidewalk with her chalk and wrote letters inside.  She jumped from box to box reciting the letters.  This is a fun game that could be played with almost anything (colors, numbers, words, sounds, etc).<\/em><\/p>\n

We also went on a Letter Y hunt to find Y shaped branches and trunks on trees.  She LOVED this!  And continues to find sticks in the shape of a Y everywhere we go.  One day I cut out letter Y’s and put Y themed questions on the back (i.e. Can you tell me where we keep the yogurt?, Can you make a Y with your body?).  I hid them around our living room and she went on a hunt to find them.  We also played a yes\/no game where I asked her questions and she made the "y" sound if the answer was yes and the "n" sound if the answer was no.<\/p>\n
