Letter D - part 1 and Valentine fun

 So now that we are in February, we are onto a new shape, color and number.  We are working on Pink, Heart and 2.  So of course for Valentines, we did heart themed work.

Here she is working on a couple of "What's Different" sheets.  This was was a good activity for her because it was just challenging enough.

Here we used the magnetic pom poms to mark "How Many."

I just LOVE her expressions in these pictures.  She had to color in each heart.  For some reason, she loved this activity :)

Then we did some pattern work. She is getting better at finding the correct picture for the pattern.  I think she doesn't quite get the idea of patterns itself though.













Next she sorted Valentines and Kids.

She also got to do one of her favorite things lately, cutting.  She can not cut in a line at this point.  It's more of snips around the page.

She is getting better at following the lines for her prewriting work.  She actual puts a lot of thought and concentration into this.

She also got to use heart stamps and paint to make a picture.  

Our Bible lesson was about Daniel in the Lions Den.  So I found this print out of a lion made of hearts! Perfect!!!!  I cut out the pieces and then would show Bella how to glue it together.  She was really proud of this work.








Letter D Work

She did a lot of dot art work the one day for letter D.

Then she works on some "D" Dinosaur work.  Here she is matching colors with the dinosaurs.

Next we did some prewriting...

Then she got to color and use stickers to decorate her letter paper.

The bible story for this day is Joseph and his coat of many colors.  This was a two day project.  First she finger painted a piece of construction paper.  Then the next day I cut out a coat and she got to glue it on a man I drew....

And yeah I'm no artist at all.  Hence the printing out of EVERYTHING. haha

Bella is particularly fond of dressing herself.  So this day I let her choose certain parts of her outfit... the boots, stocking and skirt :)
