Personal Assessments:

I also did a LETTER RECOGNITION assessment with every letter of the alphabet. 

I will do this again at the end of the year and you will hopefully be able to see a lot of improvement!

We continued talking about the letter A today & the color RED.
For story time, I read "Clifford's Big Adventures" out loud and the kids pointed out all of the red items they could see. 

At home activity idea:

Play I Spy with your child, with ONLY red items!

A is for APPLES

Balance & Coordination:

Race across the room, balancing an apple on a wooden spoon

Handwriting:

We practiced writing uppercase & lowercase A's in our journals.

Observation & Coloring:

Children drew pictures of the apples that they ate for snack in their journals.

We had a fun day talking about the letter A!

 At Home Activity Idea:

Help your child practice writing the letter A at home.

If they can't quite write on their own, draw the letter & let them trace it. Tracing is a great pre-handwriting activity.
