Letter E

Letter EThis week (meaning last week) we talked about Eyes, Ears, and Elephants.

We also went to some very Exciting Events. Sugar's, Girls State Basketball Games. Which they Won State!) The Boys District Basketball Games. (which they are going to State!) We also got to see Tiara perform and Cheer at all the games and we also saw Corbin play his basketball game. What a fun week we had.

Letter E Song

Do your Ears hang low?

Do they wobble to and fro

Can you tie them in a knot

Cab you tie them in a bow

Can you throw them over your shoulder

like a continental soldier

Do your Ears hang low?

Letter C & D

Wow! Where do my days go? I just can't keep up.

Letter C

We colored our letter and painted with Celery and Carrot

We also made Cookies and Cinnamon Cake

We talked about Caterpillars and made one. We also read the book : "A Very Hungry Caterpillar".

Letter C has two sounds. Soft C: celery and cinnamon and Hard C: carrot, cookies, and cake.

Here is a song for letter C "My Daddy Drives a Rusty Car"


Twinkle Twinkle chocolate bar
My Daddy drives a rusty car
Push the starter and pull the choke
And off we go in a cloud of smoke
Twinkle Twinkle chocolate bar
My daddy drives a rusty car


Each line has a C word. So I printed it and had Teigan circle the C word in each line.

Letter D

We punched out dots and glued them on to our letter D

Letter D Song

Doc Doggy's Dinosaur and Duck
They love to play all day
For words that start with D
The people run to see!
Words like Doc Doggy's Dinosaur and Duck
D D D D D D D

Letter B

This week: Letter B

We made a Bee out of a paper plate. Teigan really enjoyed that. He got to paint the paper plate yellow and he painted the stripes "Black" a B word. He also glued the eyes and drew the mouth. And then we traced his feet on Wax paper for the Wings. It turned out pretty cute.

I also taught him the "Baby Bumblebee" song. Skylee liked this part more than Teigan did. but by the end Teigan was singing it with me and Skylee was saying a few words too, but mostly just doing the actions.

I have found it really hard to keep this fun and entertaining for Teigan. I literally have to drag him away, from whatever he is doing, to come spend time with me. I'm not going to let this stop us, but it is challenging some days. Onward we go. If you do have any ideas on how to keep things fun and exciting, please let me know.

Plans Don't Always Work Out

My plan was to teach Teigan two songs about letter A and make an Apple Man. He didn't want to do that. All he wanted to do was play the playstation. Go figure. Well we ate Dinosaur chicken nuggets today and instead we had a great conversation about Dinosaurs. I also found two storybooks that we had about dinosaurs and read them. The one is "Oh say can you say Di-no-saur?" by Bonnie Worth. Its a book from Cat in the Hat's Learning Library. It sounds out the different dinosaur names for you and tells a little about each one. It's a pretty good book. So even though my plans didn't work out as planned. Which I'm learning is OK. We still got to spend our time, without pulling teeth :)

I found these two songs which I thought were pretty cute, so here they are:

Do You Know the Apple Man?

(tune of: the muffin man)

Do you know the apple man,

the apple man,

the apple man?

Do you know the apple man

who likes to sing with me?

Oh, he loves the letter A,

the letter A,

the letter A,

Oh, he loves the letter A

and likes to sing with me.

Letter A Song

(tune of: John, Jacob, Jingleheimer Schmidt)

Aunt Angie's Alligator-pie

It has some apples, too

For words that start with A

The people shout, Hurray!

Words like Aunt Angie's Alligator-pie

MOMME TIME

Learning Letter A

We painted an Apple for A and used it as a stamp. We also ate some apples for a snack and learned about them.

Skylee is learning to Say and Recognize her shapes.

I have made a goal this year to be a better mom.

Each day I am going to spend at least an hour with each of my kids seperatly so they get their own time with me. We are going to call it "MOMME TIME". Each day will be different. We will have Learning, Crafts, Activities, Cooking and what ever else comes our way.

If you have any Suggestions or Tips for me, feel free. I would love to have some Input and Feedback. All I know is I need to spend more time with my kids, whether it be one on one time, or something. Sometimes I feel like I'm failing as a mother and I need to do better. So please Leave a Comment, even if I don't know you, I would love to hear what you have to say.
