Wiggles’ day school uses the letter people curriculum.  Here is Mrs. F.  Each week there is a Family activity page to do with your child about the letter person they are learning.

Thanksgiving program!

Wiggles is enjoying day school, but still loves to do his LHTH work at home.  He has a busy week though.  He goes to day school M-F in the morning.  He goes to co-op with us Monday afternoons and when he asks we do LHTH at home. 

Next year, he will likely do LHFHG for kindergarten at home.

Week in Review 9/4/2010

 

We had a very good week.  We are using HOD’s Little Hands to Heaven along with some extras.  We did some color association, letter A, number 1, and read about Creation in our first Bible.

LHTH-UNIT 5

Letter-Ee

Number-6

Bible-Joseph becomes a leader.

Practicing tracing sandpaper letters for the letters we have learned so far.

I somehow skipped the Wikki Stix when we learned the letter Dd, but I remembered today when we introduced Ee.  He loves the Wikki Stix and will do them proper for a few minutes then he piles more and more on until he grows tired of it and he will help pick them all up and place them back in our ziploc bag.

Here is our finished number 6 worksheet.  We glued 6 pictures of pillows onto our paper.

Unit 4

We finally finished Unit 4 of LHTH. It tooks us 3 weeks! Public school got out the last week of May so we had a lot of awards assemblies to go to as well as Bubba’s kindergarten program. Then, I started schooling the big kids at home. So finally Wiggles has finished Unit 4 and we are back on track schooling.

Here is Wiggles putting Tigger Tails (macaroni shaped like Tigger’s tail) on his Dd page for LHTH.

Big Sis helping Wiggles write D and d in cornmeal after practicing with our sandpaper letters.

Trying it by himself.

These are our art work from the local library’s storytime.

I also made a schedule to keep all of us on track. I color coded it by kid and the together activities are their colors together…their names are on it but I blacked them out for the web.

Throw Away Thursday

  

Here Wiggles is tracing his Sandpaper Letters.  He is doing super well at tracing and saying the sound of the letter.  I think we are about ready to do some corn meal writing during review week with LHTH.

I had to put this one in.  We didn’t have a Children’s Bible reading in our lesson plan for LHTH today, but I had already pulled the book from the shelf when gathering what I needed.  Wiggles didn’t want me to put it up even though we didn’t “need” it today.  He wanted Abraham as he tried to get the book.  So I handed it to him.  We have been reading about Abraham in it and he sat down and started to read it to me.  I couldn’t make out much but all the men in the pictures were Abraham as he “read” to me.

Here is Wiggles using his Dr. Suess Alphabet cards.  I love these.  They are set up like the book.  Big A Little A What begins with A.  Alligator with a Dr. Suess pic of an alligator.  Also, they are tactile.  Similar to the way I teach him with the sandpaper letters.

I love the Dr. Suess beginner cards.  They have shapes, numbers, opposites.  Lots and lots to choose from and they are fun.  They have teaching ideas included.  So far I have the alphabet and shapes but plan on getting more.

Wiggles Work

We did a little more with the Abeka this week.  Since Wiggles got a virus, we didn’t work on LHTH.  This is from the day before he got sick.  I printed out some papers from Handwriting without tears for Wiggles to start working on his name.  I do think this was an exercise from LHTH Unit 3 Day 1.  The only day we got to do this week.

I printed his name sheet off of Handwriting without Tears web site and printed the page twice.  I wrote his name on both sheets.  Then I cut up each letter on one page for him to match up to the other.   One thing that HWT does is puts a happy face in the top left corner to teach where to start writing. 

We worked on our sandpaper letters with Cc. 

We are feeling a lot better and we will pick up with our Cc week starting tomorrow.
