Making his Alligator A

We've started doing a letter of the week with Mr. Kayden. He knows his alphabet song and can identify alot of the letters but he is very into knowing letters, numbers, etc now so I decided it was a good time to follow his cues and work on understanding letters more and what they mean. So I found this awesome site: www.notimeforflashcards.com and I have been taking some stuff from her letter of the week ideas and then using some of my own. I don't believe in drilling flashcards or rote memorization at all, to me that isn't learning. I want him to learn naturally in a whole langage way. That creates the most understanding and most importantly keeps learning FUN!! He is 2! Not 10, he doesn't need to know the alphabet yet but because he wants to I figure it won't hurt and we'll make it fun for him:) Studies always show that the best way for a preschooler to learn is through play! Not thru worksheets, flashcards, etc. So we are doing fun things with letters to increase his understanding and most importantly to have fun together. Off my soapbox and back to our fun A activities this week. He is loving making food into A shapes, making crazy crafts with As and finding A books to read. And I'm loving watching his wheels crank in his smart little head.
