Little J's Preschool: Letters with slants pt.1

It has been slow going.  Not because my littlest doesn't want to do more but because I am not always enthusiastic about finding time to "do" school.  JJ just finished her second session of art class and is done with that for this school year.  We are reading a few books and she has discovered Dora the Explorer on Netflix.  She also likes to watch Leap Frog videos on Netflix.  We have moved on to letters with slants.  We more often refer to them as slides.  She has a little bit harder time  making the slants but she has plenty of time to practice.

A:
A is for ants.  We made fingerprint ants on her letter A.

K:
K is for Kiss.  We put kisses on her letter K for her letter wall.

 M:
M is for muffins.  JJ made muffins for breakfast.

 N:
N is for Nibble Sticks.  Here we used the Gold Medal Alpha Bakery Children's cookbook to make Nibble Sticks for an afternoon snack.
 N is for newspaper.  JJ cut out bits of newspaper to add to her letter N for her letter wall.

V:
V is for vegetables.  JJ did vegetable painting on her letter V with celery, kale, spinach, and a carrot.



We spend a week or two on each letter.  Sometimes we have a week in between.  We go at our own pace and don't push it.  JJ enjoys doing school and she likes special projects like the ones we have taken pictures of. She  especially loves serving her brothers an afternoon snack she has made.  We are on to the letter W next and hope to get X, Y, and Z before the school year is out but if we don't there will be time over the summer.  Then we move on to letters with curves.
