Letter H and letter review

~Bella is 29 months~


Bella seemed to really know her letter "h" already, so we also worked on some letter review work.  We also did a lot of our Get Wisdom work, which you can find here.  

So we did some big "H" and little "h" sorting...



 Cutting practice on our Hippo page...


And more pattern work...

 One way we reviewed our ABC's was I wrote in chalk her letters.  She then used a wet paint brush to trace them.  She loved this!

She then worked on writing her name also!

I also had her write all her letters that we have learned and her name.  This work was all done on our iPad all by herself with a pen we have for it!  I think she did a great job!

We also worked on letter matching and memory work.  Bella got this awesome set  (and a number version too) for easter from her Nanna (who just so happened to be a great Kindergarten teacher for many years!)


 So first she had to match a clothespin that had a letter on it, with the correct letter card...

But it was really hard to pinch the clothespins...


 So after I did a lot of helping we switched over to memory match.  Where she had to match her upper and lower case letters.  She really loves matching games.  She does a lot of them on the iPad.

This is an action shot of her dancing! She loves when we put on music and dance :)

  1. What Ipad app did you use for the letter tracing, that looks great, she did a really great job. My son isn't interested in letter tracing - or letters in general yet (despite being a month older than Bella) but I'd like to get the app for when he is ready.
