Aa is for...

I am loving teaching WeeCare-Mothers Day Out in Mekele's two-year-old class just 2 days/week at our church! I love this age! We spent the first two weeks of school (only 4 school days) getting used to school, the schedule, playing together, centers, etc. And this past week (our 5th and 6th days of school), we started our preschool hands-on themed learning:

Letter Aa
Number 1
Color Red
Shape Circle

Here are some of the fun, hands-on activities we played:
Letter Aa big book/song
"Every letter makes a sound Aa says" song
Sneezing ACHOO!
Chomping like ALLIGATORS
Marching like ANTS
RED big book/song
Coloring with RED crayons on Letter Aa page
Rolling play-doh on Letter Aa
Making an APPLE (gluing RED paper on paper plate, add a stem. I used scrapbook paper for a fun scrappy look.)
Hide and Seek with 1 RED CIRCLE

Ever since being a SAHM almost 2 years ago, Mekele and I have headed out once a week to the neighboring bigger town for playdates, preschool open gym, the park, feeding ducks, etc. How much more fun for Mekele for us to now match our outtings with our Letter of the Week! Today we headed to...

See AIRPLANES fly in to the local AIRPORT at AVIATOR Park!









And then we turn to see our AMIGOS Hilary and Jude walking up to play at the park! These are our friends who we love to get together with anyhow, our ADOPTIVE family AGCI pals! And there you have it, our ACCIDENTAL playmate!!

Mekele walked right up to Hilary to give her a sweet leg hug and more hugs at lunch.


Would you look at these ADORABLE AVIATORS?!?! ...in their also ACCIDENTAL matching tees!! Sesame Street love!






Heads up for ANOTHER AIRPLANE!!


Letter Aa was a blast... Stayed tuned for next week for our Letter Bb outing! ...probably somewhere to BOUNCE!!
