Letter B-part 1

So I have really enjoyed Letter "b" week.  Hopefully Bella has too lol.  So I found this cute idea to do a handprint letter picture.  So since we are only on the letter B, I thought we would play catch up and do and "A" and "B" picture.  She loves getting her hands dirty in paint, so this was a big hit :)

We also did our Dot art B's.  This is something she always enjoys doing.

Here I let her just color the B pictures.  She is starting to get really good and "coloring" pictures as opposed to just scribbling!  I love seeing her learn and advance!

I printed out several different B coloring pages.  She works on them at different times of the day during the week, when I need something to keep her occupied!

She also worked on differentiating between big B and little B.  She has done really well on this for both letters.  I wonder though if she is doing so well with these letter because I have been teaching her the letters A, B, C, D, G, J, K, M, N, and P because those letters start the names of people in our family.  We shall see when we get to unfamiliar letters if she is quick to learn!

The next couple pictures are shots of her learning to write the letter B.  I focus heavily on the capital letters, but we do work on both.

With the Etch-a-Sketch, I write the letter with the pen and then she traces with the circle magnet.  She can do the "A" but we are still working on the curves of "B" :)

So there was a day when I had things planned, aaaand... my plans changed for the weekend so I needed to get things done. So instead of doing things I had originally planned where I would have needed to be involved more, we did lots of iPad learning.

Here she colored a whole bunch of "B" pictures.

Then we worked on writing "B."  On the left I helped her draw it.  Then I let her do it on her own on the right...  wrong letter but I was so impressed (as was she)

She then did her practice writing in a great app call The ABC's of God.

I love these pictures of her learning and LOVING it!  The iPad has been a great addition to our learning times.
