After a LONG Christmas break, we started back this week with our preschool activities. Finishing our entire alphabet at the end of November, I decided to focus on Christmas and winter crafts during December.  I'm now very ready to have some structure and routine back.  Since the girls are so young (ages 3 and 18 mos.), I keep our schedule and curriculum pretty light and flexible.  We work on our lessons and crafts Monday through Thursday and keep Fridays open for a free play day.  This week worked out well.  Here's a small peek into our "A" week.

What's in the alphabet box?  Things that begin with letter "A": apples, ant, airplane and alligator.

 

Stella practicing letter A with her Do-A-Dot paints.  (worksheet from Confessions of a Homeschooler)

 

Although we're focusing on capitol "A", this ant activity had Stella dividing her ants into a big "A" or little "a" stack

 

 

 

Both girls love puzzles.  Stella had an airplane puzzle and Lyla worked on a farm and ocean puzzle.

 

 

 

 

 

We started on pre-writing and math lessons.

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, we ended our week with "A" is for Alligator.

 

 

 

Our first week back was fun!  Can't wait to start letter "B".
