C Week!

I started doing homeschool preschool with my 3 year old son around mid august but didn't think of taking pictures of it and documenting it until we got to the letter C. I've changed things up week by week to adapt to his particular learning style and what would hold his attention the best. He already knows all of the letters by sight so my goal is to teach him the main sounds they make and practice writing them.

For Letter C Week I introduced the letter C with two printables from the School Sparks website. School Sparks is an awesome site and all of their resources are free!

 

Since my son loves his little matchbox cars, we made a road in the shape of a C so that he could practice making the shape by driving his Cars on the road! 

We made paper crafts throughout the week.

Cotton Clouds on the letter C

A Crab made from the letter C and his Claws were made from the letter C as well!

I liked the idea of doing at least one handprint craft so, for this week we made a Cat with his hands making the whiskers. (this idea is executed a little better in the weeks after this)

We made a Letter C book to take with us when we went out to the store or whatever other errands had to be done. I carried stickers in my purse and he would have the book.  when he would point out something that started with the letter C or printed words that started with the letter C, I would give him a sticker to put in his book.

I had cut out small letter Cs and we did a letter C scavenger hunt, he had to find everything I had put the letters on and collect them.

( I didn't put a letter on 'chips' because I was emphasizing the hard C sound)

I tried to incorporate it into his lunch too!

And we made Cookies!
