Letter Writing: Customizable Tracer Pages

Want to help your child practice writing her name? Check out these customizable tracer pages. Kiddos can connect the lines to practice writing. I just wrote my child's name on each line and printed the page. http://www.kidzone.ws/tracers/none/tracer-form.asp

My classes through Escondido Adult School begin soon. I am teaching Parent and Me Learning Together. Class is held once a week for children ages 18-36 months from 9-11 am. Choose a Monday or Wednesday class. Class for 3-4 year old children is twice a week on Monday and Wednesday from 11:30-1:30. There are a few spaces left! Class begins after Labor Day. Check my web site www.abcbook.us for more info.

I will be posting art projects throughout the fall. Summer break is over so let's get started. (I hate to see the summer go!)

Letter C: Crowns, Crackers, Caterpillars, Clouds











We read Bob and Otto, a story about a worm and a caterpillar and did some fingerprint artwork too! We used cotton balls on our artwork to make clouds. Everyone pitched in for our "Cc" picnic with crackers, cookies, carrots, and more.

Since we are the Pirates and Princesses, and it is "Cc" day we made crowns. I spray painted Burger King crowns silver and had the children embellish the crowns with fun, shiny confetti.

Our pirates and princesses are becoming quite the Alphabetologists! We even had some sad faces when class was over. See www.abcbook.us for super easy letter ideas. Phonics has never been so fun and easy!

Letter G: Green, Groceries, Games!







Check out the star green glasses and green velour workout suits! "Gg" is for green, grocery, and games! Pirates and Princesses Learning Adventures headed to Henry's Marketplace for our letter "Gg" day.

The kids looked for "Gg's" in the aisles. It takes about 100 times of exposure to really learn something new. As the kids search for letters in print in stores they work on that repetition. It is great for the kids to find the different fonts of the letter too. It's real world learning.

At the park, we played games. One family brought a pinata!
