Letter of the Week - G

*We started the day by watching this video:
*(since this actually all happened about two weeks ago, we now have tiny little plants shooting up! - Very exciting!)
* I had hoped that we could use this day to go out to our garden and start digging in the soil and doing a little spring gardening in the yard, but it was still way to cold and snowy. Rats!
After we watched this first one, my boy looked up at me and said, "That did NOT look like a gorilla!" Ha!

Letter of the Week - F
This week was the letter F.
Day One:
This week's alphabet book was Alphabeasts by Wallace Edwards. I LOVED this book. The illustrations are just amazing. Amazingly amazing.
Day Two: F is for Farms
*We read Barnyard Boogie, The Little Red Hen, and Rooster's Off To See The World
*We did the chicken dance - Oh this was so much fun! I did this part after my big kids were home from school, and they joined right in. They were all laughing, and my toddler ran right over to us and started doing his very best to follow along. Ha!
*We played a guessing game, where I held a picture of a farm animal behind my back, and gave clues until he could guess it correctly. Then he had a turn to hide a picture from me until I could guess based on his clues. Good game.
*We played Fill The Barn
*Sang Old MacDonald Had a Farm, I Went To Visit The Farm One Day, and Down On Grandpa's Farm.
Day Three: F is for Frogs
*We read Curious George: Tadpole Trouble, Foo The Flying Frog of Washtub Pond, and two Mercer Mayer books: A Boy, A Dog, and A Frog, and Frog Where Are You,
*We watched two Youtube clips. One was It's Not Easy Being Green with Kermit the Frog, and this BNL music video - which my kids loved!
