We had so much fun working with the letter P this week. Some of our Letter P activities for the week follow:

• Picnicked indoors
• Painted a lot on a variety of Paper
• Made Playdough
• Played with two different kinds of homemade Playdough – poked lots of holes
• Searched for the letter P at The Strong National Museum of Play
• Looked up Panda bears to learn a little about them
• Played with my crafting hole Punches
• Enjoyed a snack of Pudding
• Spent a day in our Pajamas
• Thought about making Peanut Butter cookies (but I didn’t have enough peanut butter)
• Played and played
• visited Rochester Museum and Science Center and played with the plumbing area of their new construction jobs exhibit

To reinforce forming the letter P and recognizing it in print we:

• Created the letter P in shaving cream
• Covered a letter P in stickers of things starting with the letter P
• Tried to create letter Ps with Playdough – with one kind it worked, with the other it didn’t
• Painted a letter P printout
• Created a letter P with paint and a Paintbrush
• Searched for the Letter P on signs at every store we visited
• Searched for the Letter P in every book we read

What we could have done, but didn’t:

• Played with pom-poms – games, crafts
• Played at a Park (except it’s winter here, so we didn’t)
• Pencil drawings
• Learned about Princes – had them make crowns, learn about being a child of the King
• Pretend Dr. play – being a patient
