Letter of the Week: Bb {Monday}

We started a new week full of activities about the letter Bb!  Here's what we did on Monday.

1.  I introduced the letter Bb poster and word cards.  You'll notice that these are the same style as the letter Aa.  We also talked about the sound for B and the first sound in the words "ball" and "bus".  Miss E knows the sound for B already, but it's always good to practice!

2.  Miss E traced B and b on the letter book page.

3. Miss E colored the letter Bb coloring page.

4.  We sang "The Wheels on the Bus".  We also read the book Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!  This is one of our all-time favorite books!


5.  We used these excellent lacing cards by Melissa and Doug. (Here are some similar ones.) Miss E used to get pretty frustrated with these, but with some gentle encouragement and help, she's getting the hang of them.  I say, "Poke the string through the hole, flip it over, and pull it through."  We turned it into a little song and had some fun!


6.  Finally, we did a "dot-to-dot" page that I made after seeing this post.  I modeled how to draw the lines to connect the dots using green crayon.  Miss E had more fun drawing circles and random lines, which is totally fine!

Stay tuned for Tuesday's activities!
