Letter P Week




This week in Kindergarten Alex was working on the letter P so we had our own letter P week at home. We made pumpkins, pizza, and mini cherry pies and I made the kids a letter P lunch. Camden is getting a little more into doing crafts now so I'm going to try to work it into our daily morning routine - I guess he is going to preschool next September after all so I should get him used to using some glue and scissors! 


I actually made this with leftover orange paper strips that I had but the kids carried it around and played with it for the day. 

 I drew a pumpkin on a white piece of paper and then I squirted glue and had the kids "paint" the paper with glue. Then they stuck the orange and green squares to the pumpkin. It was a total team effort!

Finally, I made a muffin tin lunch for the kids. I made a pentagon peanut butter and jelly sandwich, put in pretzels, popcorn, pears, and pudding. I showed Alex that she could have a peanut butter cup if she finished her lunch. And she did!

Letter C Activities

Each week as Alex is in Pre-K she is focusing on a letter of the week. We've worked plenty on letters and their sounds so many of these activities are a review but the extra practice always helps her to retain all of the information. So last week Alex was doing the Letter C so we did Letter C activities at home too.

First we started off by doing a letter C hunt. Alexandra went into the playroom and tried to find things that began with the letter c. She found a cow, a cupcake, a cup, a candle, the letter C, and a car.

Then she did letter C activities on Starfall.com


One of my favorite Halloween treats begins with C: Candy Corn! So we did some candy corn counting....and ate a little too! (but by the time we got to 5 she said she had enough because it was so sweet!)
We used the letter C mat to make the letter C using playdoh

Then she made a Letter C book 

 She cut out the pages  - look at that concentration (tongue out!)
 She practiced writing the letter C
 After working on the letter C we worked on the word of the day: And
 I made her this page for her - to trace, color, and make the word and
After the worksheet she practiced writing the word in colored salt
 Finally as a treat she decorated a mini cake. I had made a cake for a friend's birthday and I had some leftover cake and icing left.
