Letter Z Week

Can't believe this my last letter of the week post!  It's a little bitter sweet, but I am excited to start our themed units!

Letter Formation/Pre-Writing

Tracing the letters with his write and wipe cards and Letter Tracing Pages from 1+1+1=1

Practicing writing in his sand box.

Science

We're still doing our Alphabet in Simple Science, and this week was Z for zoology.

Art

He used his design rollers with some ink pads to decorate some Zs.

Life Skills

Xander has been asking to vacuum lately.  I've let him take over a few rooms a week.  He is SO proud of himself when he is done, although it does take a lot of my self control not to go in and do it "right" after him.  I'm working on encouraging him instead!

Fun and Games

To keep with the Z for Zoology theme, we played a Zoo Match 3 Corner game.
