Letter K

Happy Sunday! No post last week-my kids spent the week with their grandparents in Michigan! Fun for them, fun for us. :) We just finished up our week of learning letter K today because we didn't get started until Thursday. Here's what we did this week...

Day 1:

• Bible Story/Memory Verse
• Reviewed A-J and introduced K
• Color by Letter

Free printable here

• "Different" pages in workbook (from the Dollar Store)

• Capital and Lowercase Letter Match (I put all of the capitals on one side and all of the lowercase on the other side. Rowin had to find the matches and put them together. We only used the A-K cards.)

Free printable set here

*Toddler Activity-coloring and window stickers (unsuccessful), so I gave her the L-Z cards from the game Ro was playing. 

Day 2:

• Bible Story/Memory Verse
• Reviewed A-K
• ABC Hunt-He had to stamp all of the K/k's (Oops, got tricked by a y!) :)

Free printable here

• We tried making K's out of our bodies
• Block Letter
• First, he traced it with his finger, saying, "Big line down, diagonal in, diagonal out."
• Then he filled it in with glass stones (from the dollar store)

• Writing (We're still doing a modified version of "Handwriting Without Tears" and it's been working really well for him! Thanks Teacher Abbey for the great idea!!)
• Model-I wrote a K on the chalkboard
• He erased it with a small wet paper towel
• He erased it with a small dry paper towel
• He wrote one himself
• Repeat for lowercase and make sure you and your child say the verbal prompt every time  so that it sticks in their head!

• "What Belongs?" pages in workbook

• Roll-A-Snowman Game
• You take turns rolling a die and use the guidelines below to draw different parts of a snowman, depending on what you roll. Good for practicing taking turns, counting, and fine motor skills (drawing). Unfortunately, I don't have a printable for this one but you could easily just draw this on a piece of paper to play.

*Toddler Activity-dot markers, glass stones, and chalk/chalkboard-Unfortunately, this was the day Rayna started getting sick, so wasn't really happy with any of these activities. Kind of a rough day. :/ 

Day 3:

• Bible Story/Memory Verse
• Reviewed A-K
• Dot Marker Page

Free printable here

• "What Belongs?"-two more pages from his workbook

• King Craft-We used glitter pens, sequins, and foam squares to decorate the crown for this project.

*Toddler Activity-We were lucky today! Rayna was happy to just color. :)

Next week, we're just going to review, play games, and do some Valentine's Day crafts and activities, so stay tuned if you're looking for ideas for the week of Valentine's Day!
