Alphabet Parking Lot

We started our morning off right with a warm glass of milk, alphabet cars, and a parking lot.

 

I finished these handouts last night and got Dustin's kid approval this morning.  The cars all have lowercase letters on them and the parking spaces have uppercase letters.  Drive the correct car in the matching parking space.  Fun!  (excuse the faded print outs up above.  I just ordered more printer ink.) 

 

These print outs, along with adding, subtracting, and counting cars can be found at my shop for instant download.

Fly Swatter ABC's

I've been working with Dustin on letter recognition and try to find different ways of going about it.  Then it came to me.  He LOVES hitting stuff . . . anything really, so I designed a handout where he was encouraged to hit and we wouldn't tell him to stop.

 

 

I created one page that had the entire alphabet.  Then I drew up a wasp, bumble bee, and fly, and placed them around each letter.  I made bigger versions of these on flashcards, about 6 per page.  That way when we buy a new fly swatter, we can hang up the flashcards and he can swat at the BIG bugs.

 

He seemed to really enjoy it and kept his attention for a whole FIVE minutes!!!

 

I didn't take the time to laminate my fly swatter, so needless to say it's not going to last very long with Dustin.  As long as he has fun, I don't mind.

Magnetic Letters Activity

 

We worked on our letters F-J last week and one activity he did was to match magnetic letters to letters that I traced on a sheet of paper and then taped down to a metal surface.

 

 

He got it really fast and I am hoping it will help with his letter recognition.  I will definitely repeat this with the rest of the alphabet.  It was super easy and fun! 

 

 

*The metal surface we are using is an old whiteboard that I glued into the back of Dustin's learning notebook.
