August learning activities

We have been having a blast learning in August!!!! We focused on a couple of letters ("L" and "J"), practiced color sorting and 1 to 1 correspondence, and reminisced about the ocean. Here is a recap!!!

We also did "L is for lion" and of course talked about how it is Lylah's letter. For "J" we did "J is for jellyfish", "J is for Jesus" and "J is for jump". We also made lemonade and jell-o!!

We made lots of alphabet soup!! (just beans, noodles, foam letters, and various play kitchen toys)

We did more than these ocean actives, but I didn't do a good job taking pictures apparently. The sensory bin was a big hit even though I didn't really like the way it turned out.

We did 1 to 1 with shells and a deviled egg tray. We also sorted the shells by big and little (sort of hard for Lylah), counted them and sorted pom poms by color.

Finally we learned about creation and the fall. I loved this Godly Play set idea that I got from pinterest!!! So did Lylah. We also colored a creation wheel from church, did part of a days of creation craft also found on pinterest (too hard for lylah), and memorized Genesis 1:1 in sign!!

As you can tell, I'm loving my new job still :). Up next a couple of Eric Carle book studies!!!
