Last week we concentrated on the letter L. I started posting a giant letter of the week next to where Cutie Pie sits for meals and he’s taken to tracing them with his finger often and this seems to help him remember the letter names better as we talk about them more often at his prompting. We also talked about the prophet Elijah.
Bible Story – Cutie Pie seemed fascinated by the fact that even though everything was soaked with water, God could create fire. Other than this part of the story of Elijah, Cutie Pie was not interested in learning about him.
Language Arts – We talked about a whole lot of words that start with the letter L. Lions, Lambs, Lollipops, Laying down, Little (and big – science) and just about every other word beginning with L, too. Cutie Pie has a hard time saying this letter, which I think is typical for a lot of 4 year olds, so we spent a lot of time saying words starting with L or containing L.
Science – Lion chow was on the snack menu again this week (see here for last week’s Bible story and related recipe). The boys loved it, and it was great measuring practice! We also spent a lot of time pretending to be lions…eating what lions eat, walking like lions, huddled like lions in lion dens made from sheets and couch pillows…and Hubby spent a lot of time being a lion on his snow day, too!
It seemed like we did a lot now that it’s written down, but at the time it seemed like we spent a lot of time being sick with colds this week and preparing for a terrible storm that, thankfully, never hit this area as badly as predicted. At some point I will manage to get pics from during the week from the main computer to this little one each week.
