Alphabet Antics

Here are some of our alphabet books.  I always want you to remember that you need to use the books you have at home :)  My son loves to read, I've known that I wanted to be a teacher since forever, so  I have been collecting books for most of my life and my mom is also a teacher. I buy books all of the time.  I often try to find books on line to share as well.  This week is really no different.  Use the books you own! :)

I am going so high-tech here lol I am going to write on index cards and see if Froglet can match them on our oil drip pan :)  I plan to use my big chunky LeapFrog letters... even though the dog has eaten some of them lol

However, I might print these, because they are cute and I love her artwork. I am going to cut them apart and tape them to the oil drip pan. 

Or use the ones I bought from Target... decisions decisions 

Music- Have Fun Teaching

Math/Life Skills/Science- Bean Bag Toss  

I bought these at Dollar Tree.  They are bulletin board sized.

I am starting with the ones on top.

Lay them out on the floor, so them make a rectangle with them.

Have your child toss a bean bag or pom pom.  Whatever letter they land on have them say the letter.  Or in my case, if my son doesn't know the letter, after giving him time to think, I will say the letter and have him repeat it.

I will use the number ones and the other letter ones at a different time :)
