Fifi still loves her weekly Letter of the Week lessons and I have found that I have had to add activities from other sources because she works so quickly and then asks for more. For this I am grateful, even though it has doubled my preparation time for her. For some inexplicable reason, I didn’t take many photos this week.
Our letter wall
Letter U with Unifix blocks
Letter U for Umbrella puzzle
Do-a-Dot paint letter U. I have yet to find the do-a-dot paints in South Africa (and importing them is an extremely costly exercise), but I did come across Bingo markers a few years ago that do the trick.
Umbrella sequencing
Umbrella shape puzzles
Umbrella graphing. She ticks the applicable number of boxes
I printed off a Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree (link below in the resources) for her to mark off which letters we have done.
This goes in the front of her file. We use lowercase letter stickers.
The Letter U collage. She used her umbrella cut and paste sheet to decorate it.
