Letter O

We were home a lot last week, so I decided to do a few lessons with Sawyer. I didn't have much computer access, since Justin was working on it most days, so I just thought of a few things to do with the letter O. I had to be spontaneous to give us some things to do. First I cut out a letter O and let Sawyer color it and cover it with cheerios. This was their snack time, too.
I let Jax glue Os onto an oval. He didn't realize you can't eat the cherios once they had glue on them. That is glue under his nose.
Another day we read a book and watched a video about Oswald the Octopus. I helped Sawyer make this Octopus. He painted it orange and glued on the 8 tentacles. He likes counting them and saying the word tentacle.
One of the tentacles tore, so our octopus actually has 7 and a half legs.
We also talked a lot about opposites this week. Sawyer really enjoys reading books about opposites, so I jumped on the opportunity to teach him more about them. We played a game with his musical instruments. We played the instruments fast then slow, loud then soft, high then low, etc. Lulu gave them the Melissa and Doug band in a box for Christmas. It is great for music time. My guys love music, so any lesson I can incorporate with music is perfect for them.
