W is for .....

We have been learning about Arctic Animals- and for Ryan we have done this week with a focus on the letter W

I did not take many pictures but here is a handful if ideas that I did over these past couple weeks

W is for Water
W is for Waffles
W is for Wolf (Arctic wolf)
W is for Walrus
W is for Watermelon- we did a couple activities from Confessions of a Homeschooler and of course eat watermelon!

we talked about W for a couple weeks because we also reviewed past letters some days too Ryan also got this mixed up with M a lot and also Mixes F and T (lower case) so we took W slow and reviewed along the way- it worked well.

We always read books every day. I try to pic ones that have the letter we are learning about, as we read I ask him to find that letter for example W, and I will ask him past letter too. I make this a game, and say "now it is my turn to spy letters", etc. He really likes it
I really love THIS book I picked it up on sale a few years back from scholastic when my kids did go to public school it has become one of our favorites. It has LOTS of W but not so many you feel like you are saying them all the time. There are repeated phrases and it is a really fun story too.

that is our week of W in a nut shell.
