I gave Xander two colors of pom poms so that he could put one color on the big Ms and the other on the little Ms. He did a pretty good job distinguishing the two.
We have been using our A-Z mini puzzles for a while, but this was the first week Xander did one completely by him self. Then, of course, he did it again and again and again...
Shape Jungles
This activity is hit or miss with Xander. I think it is too easy. I had a bunch of mini jungles with the name of a shape and then some monkey cut outs with shapes for him to match.

Monkey Size Sorting
Tracing
I picked up a package of Expo washable dry erase markers, and I really like them. Very bright colors, but vibrant. I think I may like them better than the Crayola ones, but I'm not positive yet.
