Letter C - "The Very Hungry Catepillar" and Bible Lessons

So for letter "C" this week we used our "Very Hungry Catepillar" Tot pack and a couple of other resources that I found.  

In the Tot pack she worked on matching colors to the food the Catepillar ate...

Then she used pom poms to match her Big and Little Letters on a cookie sheet.  She did really well with this and in fact took it a step further, on her own- and would put the matching color pom pom on the correct letter hehe.
Also she did her usual prewriting work.  She is trying more and more to follow the curved lines as opposed to just drawing straight across.
I found a site that had additional activities for her to do since a lot of what was in the tot pack, I felt as if she would not be able to do yet.  So here she is counting dot for the length of the body of the caterpillar. 



 Then I would tell her what the color word was and asked her to find the crayon for that circle.  To help her understand that I wanted her to stay in a specific circle for each color, I outlined the circle in marker after she identified the correct color.
Then for her letter "C" craft, we made the caterpillar by painting the palm of her hand and she had to stay on the C that I drew.
 Here I would write out different letters, numbers or shapes and ask her to stamp the one I called out.  She actually wanted to keep doing this after she understood my instructions.
 I have these practice writing sheets that I printed and laminated and Bella has loved working on them.  I have all the letters and numbers that we have learned.

Our Bible stories this week were the Tower of Babel and Abraham. So for the Tower of Babel, we focused on how we always need God.  So we then started to build a tower of our own and when Ada would knock it over it was a great opportunity to talk about how we need God for all things!


 Then we got to make a Tower of Babel at snack time with Graham Crackers :)

For the story of Abraham, we focused on the idea of God keeping His promise to Abraham.  So her craft for that was putting star stickers on a piece of black construction paper with a bible verse.


 And then I had to had some Twin love :) They are getting sooo big.
