Just wanted to suggest a fun activity we did today with Apples/Letter A. I drew a basic "apple tree" that filled our 8.5x11 in paper, then I wrote capital A's in red marker on the tree and lower case A's in green marker. Caroline used our "dot" paints to dot the green A's green and the red A's red. We also talked about capital and lower case. If I did this activity again I think I would just make it a matching game (red/green) and leave out the lower case/upper case part. It was a hit and Caroline enjoyed it. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Rochelle! I really want to get some of those dot paints, but I'll bet this could work with big markers too, right? Tobias would probably get a kick out of this.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike Manda! I had the "Leaves on the Tree" song, leaf sorting, and leaf rubbings planned for the first week of October =)! I think I may start pumpkins that first week now...
ReplyDeleteOh no Robin! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overlap. I hope you can find plenty of pumpkin crafts!
ReplyDeleteNot a problem at all! It actually helped because then I could fit in all of the FOTS activities =).
