We began letter W week with a Sesame Street letter W video (6 minutes), a few books, and a Winnie the Pooh puzzle...
I saved the majority of the day's lesson for when Kieryn got home from school. I thought she'd enjoy part of it! We tried weaving...
We read about our favorite mascot...
Then I surprised them with a picture.... we ended the lesson with the Wabash Cannonball, KSU chant and of course, pretend Wildcat "tackle" football! :)
On Tuesday Micah and Ronan used watercolors to paint the letter W...
Then they painted a picture that had a letter W item in it somewhere... they had to find it.
Afterwards we did a demonstration about how things get heavier when we add weight. We tried this using weights and a toy wagon. Each time the boys made a lap around the kitchen before we added more weight. The boys loved it!
We were able to fit 1-10#, 2-8#, 2-5#, 2-4#, 2-1#, and 2-.2# for a grand total of ~46.5#... they both pulled it around and back! I was quite impressed. They wanted to keeping going so I think they were impressed with themselves as well!
We ended the lesson with a wizard wand color match...
Then we made a wooden wizard wand of our own. (wooden popsicle stick, curly ribbon, and tape)
On Tuesday night at our kid class we had a great workout! We did waddling, walking, and of course wobbling! The wobbling was their favorite.
On Thursday we used wiggly worms for our lesson... we practiced cutting and tracing with a gummy worm...
We did some W sound matching...
Then we went outside and collected some worms... luckily it has been rainy so there were lots of worms to choose from...
Ronan even held one! We practiced using words to describe the worms!
On Friday we did some tracing and talked about whales...
We did some matching...
A letter w search...
And we read a bible story about Jonah and the whale! Great way to end letter W week!
Over the weekend the kids had fun at a neighbor's birthday party...
And I found time during the week to finish my Easter wreath! Just in time for W week!
Until next time!
