For C week we started with our Itsy Bitsy C book.   Levi put together a car with brads printed on cardstock and cut out from DLTK's alphabuddies . He colored and completed a few C sheets from ABC Teach. 

We revisited the Before Five in a Row book Carrot Seed and talked about the determination, care and faith it takes to grow seeds into plants to reep the vegetables or fruits they produce. We talked also about the tiny little mustard seed growing into a tree in Matthew 13: 31,32, which was the topic of children's church the week we were studying C! We also referenced Matthew 17:20 "If you have the faith of a mustard seed...nothing will be impossible," discussing the little boys faith that the carrot seed  would grow despite being told by his family it wouldn't.

Levi loves to sip my coffee. One morning of C week he said, "Hey Mom, coffee starts with C!" as he was eating his cereal. We discussed that coffee was hard c and cereal was actually soft c, so we decided coffee and cereal would be our "snack" for c.

We had a fun C week!

I'm catching up on letter B week since I just got photos loaded.

Levi loved making his Itsy Bitsy B book! Itsy Bitsy books  are such a cute way to give the child something just their size to work on!

We printed out a bat on cardstock to brad together from DLTK's alphabuddies. This cool bat uses the outlines of the child's hands for the wings. Levi loved tracing his hands. (Can't see the wings on the white table since Levi wanted them to stay white, but you can see the flower he pasted on the left wing.)

We also ate a banana for our snack!

We  revisited Jesse Bear from our Before Five in a Row studies and I was able to cut out a bear I had printed with the Jesse Bear Fold-n-Learn I purchased last year from Five in a Row., along with several pieces of clothing that fits him. Tayt helped me stick velcro dots on everything so Levi could dress Jesse Bear. He had a ball with this (and I do believe Tayt enjoyed it as well!) Homeschool Share is also a great place to find projects to go along with many of the BFIAR books, and they have lots of stuff to go along with Jesse Bear. I really wanted to make the whole lapbook they have, but not enough time this go around.

Of course we sang the Leap Frog train's "B says buh" all week too.

We started our Preschool Time last week, beginning with Letter A. Levi was thrilled to have his own "schooltime" with Momma. We started by talking about the sounds letter A makes, then basic coloring sheets. Levi then enjoyed gluing a capital A and lower case a made of sandpaper on a sheet and tracing them with his finger.

Next, I had printed off A's onto cardstock and punched holes in it for a lacing activity, which he loved. We then assembled an alligator, placing brads for head, arms and legs.

Later in the week we focused on apples, completing a basic reading comprehension worksheet, a couple of coloring activities, and eating red delicious apples.

We sang the Leapfrog train's theme song using the letter A all week: "A says A, A says A, every letter makes a sound, A says A , A says A, as the train is going round." While sisters' became a bit tired of the tune by the end of the week, Levi loved singing it all week long.

Sisters were thrilled to help think up words, songs and stories with the letter A as well as help Levi complete an art project on Friday by drawing in several pictures of things beginning with A on his tracing of an apple.

Levi much enjoyed his A week!

Thanks to Itsy Bitsy Books for so many great preschool sheets and projects, as well as ABC Teach whom I have access to for one month as a TOS Crew review. I had membership a few years back but since the girls are older have not renewed. I will certainly enjoy doing this review and renewing my membership with Preschool at the helm! Stay tuned for my ABC teach review!

Levi is looking forward to B Week!
