summa summa summatime!

it is the beginning of summer...that time when i feel full of ideas, time, excitement, etc.  a few months ago i started thinking about what i could come up with to keep the kiddos busy and keep their brains engaged.  i came up with the "summer alphabet"...we assigned an activity for each letter of the alphabet.  we will choose a letter (some need more time/planning) and we will not be doing the alphabet in order.  we have cute little envelopes with a letter and an activity inside...




in addition to doing the activity sometime during our summer day we will also learn how to sign the letter and three words that start with that letter.


cat  (pointer and thumb form a circle and other three fingers pointed up...pull out as if pulling on whiskers)

candy (pointer finger on cheek/dimple and twist it back and forth)

chair (make a "c" with your hand and hang two fingers on the bottom of the "c")
today we obviously started with the letter "c" and our activity was chalk paint for the sidewalk.  here is what you need...(and water)


and it looks like this...love neon food coloring



then...HAVE FUN!










with a brief break to run to mama from a passing motorcycle...
thanks for stopping by,
