Letter of the Week - F

We have had a fun and busy week.  This last week we focused on the letter F... Fun, Fabulous, Fantastic, Fish, Frog, Fast, Fan, Fly... you get the idea.  We did our usual coloring with Do-A-Dot markers, used our Power Magnets, did some patterning with wooden shapes and a letter craft with a paper plate.  Here is a post to all the links for the printables we use.  As you can see in the pictures below, Zayit had fun!

Introducing words starting with F allowed for some learning as well.  'Fast' was paired with 'slow' and thus we spent some time working on opposites.  'Fast' also allowed me to introduce fast, faster and fastest.  We do this with big, bigger and biggest.  Zayit still has a long way to go before he understands this concept, but he enjoys saying the words and trying to figure it out.  We learned about fish and where they live and read The Rainbow Fish.  Our craft this week was a fish.

Fish before play

Fish after play

This was the first time he actually finished his letter!  He was so excited!

   

He also finished his patterning for the first time.

And of course, we can't leave Ziva out... she learned all about making a mess with Food and Feeding the puppies!
