Letter W - Walrus Week

These are our homeschool preschool activities for the Letter W and Walrus week. Archer was 36 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 week and the remainder of the letter weeks will be pretty light. He's outgrowing a lot of the activities (but still asks for them) and we're remodeling our basement, which makes toy rotation and accessing material storage difficult.

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, and a peg letter.

We moved some things around in the playroom and now our shelves are in this corner instead of under the window. It still needs some adjusting. I used Magnatiles to make an s on his white board and added some magnetic letters and fridge phonics.

Shelves on the left had castle blocks, popsicle stick puzzles, a bin of magnets and felt shapes with a die for practicing colors in Spanish. Shelves on the right had giant large playing cards, geometric builders, Color Code, UltraDash, Magna-Qubix and a bin of vehicles.

Reading books outside. Elephant and Piggie has been a favorite series for a while.

I found him trying to spell arsenic the other day. 😲

Since games are everywhere right now, he found Kingdomino and wanted to put all the tiles in order.
