OOooo what fun it is!

We began "O" week with oatmeal and oranges.

 

We then did the opposite sheets from the previous "o" week. I was surprised that Kieryn remembered so many. We also watched a short opposites seasame street video and read a few opposite books.

We then did water play, experimenting with the opposites -float and sink. They had fun playing for a good 30 min at the sinks!

On Tuesday we did an obedience lesson and practiced drawing letter o.

Then we made jell-O, and did sensory play with it after naps.

On Wednesday we used marshmallow creme and practiced drawing letters. Kieryn loved this! We practiced o, and her name.

 On Thursday we watched a short video about the ocean and the animals that live there. We read a few books about it and then made an orange octopus. Kieryn got to count the "O" cereal to add to the eight legs! Ronan did some scooping with the spoon, putting o cereal into the ocean animal mold.

Later we talked about the short and long sounds that letter o makes. Kieryn seemed to really understand it. 

So we put it to the test on Friday when we did our letter o hunt. She could tell me whether the item started with a short or long "o" sound. I was impressed!

Until next time...
