Tot School Letter N

Mini Cooper is 20 months.

It's been awhile since I've done a wrap up on only Mini Cooper, so I've got quite a bit for this post!

Our letter this week was N.



Our N alphabet box-N is for nest, number nine, note, nickle, notebook and necklace.



N is for numbers-I gave Mini number stickers and she put them on her N.




Do-A-Dot N from Confessions of a Homeschooler. Mini LOVED this and was sooo MAD at me when I made her stop-she wanted to paint the whole page. She is not two, yet, but she is trying hard to act like she is.



She sorted n's from Confessions of a Homeschooler. Well, not really. I had printed this for Charger but she wanted a try in the worst way. So I let her try.

I 'math' we have been working on colors and shapes.



I printed off two sets of these sweet little princesses from the new Princess Preschool Pack from Jolanthe (Homeschool Creations) and Carisa (1+1+1=1). We-er I-matched the sets. I am trying to get her intersted in doing this sort of activity on her own. She LOVED the little princesses, didnt really understand the game, though.



I brought out our Kid O shape puzzle. She doesn't 'know' her shapes (or at least I dont know if she does-she cant really talk yet), but she mastered this puzzle in no time flat. I think this puzzle will be going in storage!



I printed these strips from Kelly's Kindergarten awhile ago for my older kiddos, and was impressed at how well Mini Cooper did with them. The bears are from our Bear Family Math set.




Mini Cooper LOVES to color. I think she could color all day. This week I printed her the color by number princess from the Princess preschool pack. And T is for Toy Story from the Toy Story pack also from Carisa(1+1+1=1) and Jolanthe (Homeschool Creations). She LOVES Buzz, and was certainly excited to get to color him. Buzz was one of her first words :). These packs are AWESOME!!




I made these pocket chart visuals (just from Googling chickens) for use with Mustang's math lessons. Mini Cooper had a blast putting them in and out of the pocket chart.

Other things she chose from the shelves this week:


Discovery Toys giant peg stacker.




Her Melissa and Doug insects puzzle. She decided we needed to sing 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' with the spider puzzle piece.





And she played with our basic letter blocks. She made a couple towers and then tried to carry them around. She's got a few things to learn about blocks :).

Hope you are all having a great Mother's Day. We finally got some great weather, and it has been a joy spending it with our family.

God Bless!!

Weekly Wrap Up-Letter N

We had a very uneventful week. My favorite! Daddy was gone most of the time planting, and we had very few outside commitments, so we got a lot done!! Yay!!

Phonics/Reading:

Letter N was introduced in our BJU curriculum along with site words here and is. Mustang also learned about the 'in' word family with previously learned letters t and s, so we have tin, sin, and in. We also learned about periods.



She worked on the following worksheets:
N letter tracer from Confessions of a Homeschooler
N letter hunt from Confessions of a Homeschooler
N Cut & Paste from Homeschool Creations
N worksheet from Education.com



She also worked on a homemade tracer/copy work page to practice it is and here (before we introduced n).

For Preschool, we pulled out the N phonics box.


Nest, number nine, note, nickle, notebook, and necklace. It used to have a needle...not sure where it went! Thank God it was plastic!



N is for numbers-he put number stickers on lowercase n.



He 'wrote' N with the do-a-dots from Confessions of a Homeschooler. He had been doing the letter tracers with Mustang, but they seemed to hard for him, so we took a step back.



Sorted lower and uppercase N's (another from Confessions of a Homeschooler)



Located N's-from PreKinders,



and matched N puzzles from Alphabet Avenue.



He also built words with our vintage game.

Math

Again following our Bob Jones Curriculum, we learned (or really reviewed for Mustang) numbers 6, 0, pictographs, and ordinal numbers first-fifth.




Coloring number six for our shape number books.



Mustang making an animal pictograph.



Charger putting together puzzles I made a couple years ago for Mustang.



To learn about ordinal numbers, Mustang did a few worksheets from Kids Learning Station. She looks so excited doesnt she?



Then put a story in order.



For Charger I made a game that you can read about (and download) here.

So, that was a portion of our week. Hopefully it can be helpful to you especially if you are looking for letter N resources in your homeschool.

God Bless and have a Happy Mother's Day!!
