Can't Wait To Try...

I've had the best of intentions of working on a letter of the week with Kendall, but as always with my best laid plans, it never seems to work out the way I plan...A few months back I shared one of my new favorite blogs on Facebook.  It's called No Time For Flashcards.  On this site are lots of wonderful ideas of things to do with your kids.

My new plan is to create these letters in advance - or at least a few weeks in advance and have them on hand to do with Sissy.  She's been doing well with learning her letters and their sounds so now seems as good a time as any to get started with these craft projects!

Here's the plan.  We'll start at the very beginning (a very good place to start!).  Sorry, got carried away there!  We'll work on the letter A by creating this picture:

You draw the A on the paper and have them color it, then cut it out and glue on the teeth and eyes!  How fun!

You can also make an apple tree to go along with the letter A!

They also offer ideas on books to read to go along with the letter of the week as well as other projects to work on...

Someone remind me why I signed my daughter up for preschool next year?  Oh that's, right to have a few hours of peace two times a week!  She's excited about the idea of going to Riley's school next year anyway.  She has told Riley very specifically that she will be going to HER class next year and he will be going to HIS class!
