Letter Of The Week - W

Getting near the end of the Letter Of The Day Project!

Day One:

*We made our W page and decorated the letter with some crafting wire I had. Our alphabet book was Wildlife ABC, 123. It was beautifully illustrated with endangered animals. After the ABC part, it had a numbers section that went up by ones until 20, then by tens until 100.

Day Two: W is for Wolf

My picture taking frequency has gone down. I'm afraid the only picture of our wolf day is this one of us playing with our wolf puppet. We also:

* read Little Red Riding Hood, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and Peter and the Wolf (I wasn't able to find a link to the edition we read, but this one looks like a good beginner level)

* played What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf?

Day Three: W is for Weather

*We read Snow Day

*Sang some Kindermusik weather songs: Micheal Finnegan, and Sally Goes Round the Sun

*We made a wind chime from a hanger and some kitchen utensils and hung it outside

*We played a Sesame Street game where you get Elmo ready to play outside in different kinds of weather

*We put drops of water on one side of a sheet of waxed paper and used our own 'wind' to blow the drops to the other side. Then we put some drops in the middle and made a game of who could blow the drops to the other person's side first. (I won!)

Day Four: W is for Whales

*We did a whale number sheet

*Sang Baby Beluga by Raffi

*Read Pinocchio and The Grouchy Ladybug

*Watched 'Shallow Seas' of Planet Earth about the baby humpback whale. (very interesting!)
