summer school

molly LOVES school and was so bummed that there was a summer break for preschool. she couldn't understand why anyone would want a break. i love her enthusiasm for school and learning and assured her that we'd do fun school stuff this summer. i'm sure one day this will not be the case and i'll be posting that she hates that i'm a teacher, like one of my facebook friends posted earlier in the week, when i'm forcing her to read and keep her multiplication facts in the forefront of her mind over summer break.

so, i've come up with some fun summery units, in no particular order for letter practice. this week we're doing A and P for ants and picnic since they go well together. today we made the letter P out of playdough and then created a picnic with our fun picnic playdough set complete with little black ants crawling to and on our plate. the girls loved it!

the final product

after playdough we made A and P pages. molly loved searching through magazines and finding A and P words. it was hard to find A words! sophie enjoyed gluing her pictures on and scaring me when she'd grab the scissors and attempt to cut.

lots more to come on letters A and P!
