A Letter a Day: The Letter A!

My "Letter of the Week" plan has quickly turned into "Letter of the Day" due to time constraints!  I really want to get through the whole alphabet this summer, so this is how we are going to accomplish this task!  I got this idea from my friend Whitney Kovash....who got the idea from a blog she follows called the Poe Family Blog. The icon below will link you directly to her "Letter of the Week" posts.  I thought this was such a great idea when I saw my friend Whitney doing it, that I was determined to get Everett and I on board with it this summer!

The icon below is from the Poe Family Blog if you are interested in her ideas!  She is amazing and quite frankly puts me to shame....but hey...I need someone to INSPIRE me!

A is for.....

*ASTRONAUTS*   * ALPHABET*  *APPLE*  

*APRON*  *AIRPLANES*  *ALICE IN WONDERLAND* *AIR FORCE* *ANTS* *ARMADILLOS* *ARRANGING* *ALLIGATORS*

Here are just a few of the things that got us started today!

Everett loves his AMAZING APRON!  

He got to wear it while he helped Mommy make a breakfast that 

had to do with today's letter...."A"

He ATE his breakfast in no time flat!  

Dipping his APPLES in the peanut butter was AMAZING!  

He ASKED if we could have that more often!  

Next it was time for school....

His buddy, ALEX the ALLIGATOR

 decided to join us and bring along his little baby ALLIGATOR!

We learned all about writing the letter A  in upper and lowercase!

We also found out that ARMADILLO and ANTS start with the letter A!

Of course....

We had to find our favorite ASTRONAUT and space ranger Buzz Lightyear!

Naturally...what might come next?

AIR FORCE AIRPLANES!

Everett had a blast running around with his AIRPLANES!  

Their flying power was AWESOME!

He made sure to tell me all about them and ARRANGE by size!

We also spent time reading about the ALPHABET!

One of his favorite books by Dr. Suess is ABC's.

How about an ARRANGING game...

Our ALPHABET flashcards somehow got all mixed up....

Can you get them back in the correct order?

Of course, we start with the letter "A"!

 ALMOST done!!

AWESOME!  You did it!

The ALPHABET is back in the correct ARRANGEMENT!

Way to go, Everett!

What better afternoon snack than....

ANTS on a log! Yum!
