Our week from April 30th to May 4th

We've been doing less and less school as the weather warms up and we spend more time out and about and outside.

Our Shelves

Sand tray

She had a lot of fun practicing her letters this week.

Usually she just does a couple and then just plays in

the sand. She also usually does "easy" letters. This

week she focused a lot on letters that have been hard

for her. She made a lot of progress with K, A, and R.

Popcorn phonics sensory tub

I buried a bunch of our small phonics objects in her

popcorn sensory tub. She went hunting for them and

then told me the starting letter of each. She loved

this one and pulled it out several times!

Pattern pieces

She actually stuck with this one and finished a

picture. She usually gets too annoyed that she can't

get the pieces to stay exactly where they go.

Clothespin counting

The clothespins are numbered 1-15. She clips them

in order on the side of the basket. This one is good

number sequencing as well as fine motor control

and hand strength. 

Snapping

I'm trying to put out more activities that will help

her develop hand strength. She knows how to snap,

but still has a very hard time with it because she

just doesn't have the strength in her fingers.

Clock puzzle

She's been asking a lot about time lately, so I put

this out for us to work with.

Painting

If it's painting in any way, shape, or form, she

likes it. 

Glitter and glue

Usually a favorite, but she actually didn't do it.
