I thought it would be neat for Seth to see all of his work displayed each week so I took everything off of his bulletin board in his room and we added all of our "S" crafts to it throughout the week. We also included objects or animals that we found around the house that started with "S." Here is our board this week:We started learning about "S" by coloring an uppercase and lowercase "s." We attempted using our kid scissors to cut them out. We added them to our board first and used them all week as a reference to what letter we were learning about. We also tried to learn a Bible verse that started with "S." I printed it out and added it to our board. Seth repeated Matthew 6:33 (as best as he could and just the first part) each day.
"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously,
and he will give you everything you need."
"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously,
and he will give you everything you need."
We made a plate of spaghetti using a paper plate, paper for the sauce, yarn for the noodles, and Styrofoam balls (because I didn't have any brown pom poms).
We drove our cars over the letter "S" road. You can find the entire printable alphabet here. I am going to print each letter, put it in a plastic sleeve, and keep them in a binder so we can reuse them over and over.
We also read several books that started with "S."
Some other learning activities throughout the week included:

Color sorting wooden spoons (found at Mighty Dollar)
(the fabric set came from IKEA and the plastic came from the dollar store)
This coming week we are going to be learning about the letter "E"!
Wow, those are some great ideas! Looks like you both had fun. :). I may just have to steal some of your ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteBoy you are a fun Mommy! LOL My Mom used to do neat things like that for me as well. It really means a lot. Some of my best memories from childhood are when Mom and I would "create" and learn together. Sethie is already a smart boy and now he is going to be even smarter! WOOHOO!
