So this past 2 weeks we worked on the letter b. Due to sicknesses (mine and the boys) and a lot of things to do with the letter b, it took us a little longer than planned. But we had some fun and now Connor can recognize the letter A and B. :)
Here's what we did:
Every day we trace and practice writing Big Bs and Little b's
Here's Connor's B:
He was VERY excited about this B. And said "mommy, look at my B!" Personally I think it looks a little like pac-man. :)
B is for Butterflies, Bees and BUGS!
- We made butterfly and Bee stick Puppets.
Even Logan joined in for some fun!
- We watched some old Donald Duck cartoons about Bees. Check them out!
- We read The Magic School Bus goes inside a Beehive by Joanna Cole
- We made Bug Finger Puppets.
- We read the book: Bugs, Bugs, Bugs by Bob Barner
- We went on a bug hunt and collected a grasshopper, stink bug, and an ant.
- We listened to sounds of different bugs on-line.
- We painted a lady bug printout.
B is for Bears and Bunnies:
- We watched a video on-line of a bear catching fish in a stream.
- We made Bear masks & Bunny Masks
- Watched Bugs Bunny cartoons
- Read Goldilocks and the Three Bears and made stick puppets to go with the story.
Connor came up with his own story to Goldilocks where she takes down all three Bears. :)
- Read Bearenstein Bears stories
- Read The Bear's Bicycle by Emile McLeod AND Big Brown Bear's Up and Down Day by David McPhail
Over the weekend we celebrated Connor's cousins birthdays.
And Oma's birthday by making her Blueberry Cupcakes!
We played with balloons.
We took bubble baths.

So, as you can see we had a LOT of fun with the letter B. Connor especially loved going on a bug hunt, in fact the first bug he came across was a wasp. He wanted to catch it but I told him no flying bugs. And he was so proud of his bug house that we had to take it over to Oma and Opa's house to show them off. He also really loved the story of Goldilocks and the three bears and recreating the story. What a fun and special time Connor and I (and Logan too) had together learning about the letter B!
