Letter S - Sea Lion Week


These are our homeschool preschool activities for the Letter S and Sea Lion week. Archer was 35 months. You can see our full "curriculum" post here, but we will only use some activities each week. The majority of his time is still unstructured play. 
This was his shelf setup above his desk. I hung some bulletin board letters, a sign language card (from And Next Comes L) and his work from the week. The shelf had an Alphabet Reader, a Meet the Phonics Letter Reader, a peg letter and a wooden letter train car
There were his shelves for the week. I used Magnatiles to make an s on his white board and added some magnetic letters and fridge phonics. On top I have his Alphabet Soup Can, toy sea lion and his preschool basket.

Shelves on the left had Magna-Qubix and wedgitsShelves on the right had a some rhyming puzzles, some word puzzles, geometric solids, toddler magnets and a basket of cars.
