This week we learned all about “U!” We did lots of the same things as last week but just changed them to a new letter. Quinn was so excited to do the things again!!! (so the repetition is a positive so far!)

Here’s a list of what we did…
1. We started this week with our Frog Street Press song and book. This time it was called Uncle Ugbee…and, tonight at dinner, when I asked Quinn his favorite song, this is what he said! :) 2. We did our U craft from No Time for Flash Cards. He loved making the umbrella and gluing on all of the raindrops! 3. We practiced U’s on his Cars magnadoodle. He got a little frustrated at first and only wanted to make Q’s. So, I came up with a new approach…I drew the U and he drove on it with his car! He LOVED it! We did it dozens of times. Now, I can draw the star (start spot) and circle (stop spot) and he can make his U! Not bad! :)   4. We had our fun “Muffin Tin Munchies” U lunch! A hit, of course! 5. We did Starfall and Bemboo Zoo again!

6. We hunted for U’s in the big mess of foam letters. 7. He used them to decorate his little U worksheet.

8. On Saturday night, we had a little family movie night…UP! None of us had seen it and we ALL loved it! A perfect U movie! 9. We went on our field trip to U.S. Toy. Here’s Quinn’s picture of the sign! :)10. We did our U Hunt around the house…but, this time Quinn took his umbrella to point at all of the U’s that he found!

11. And, we did lots of U practice. Quinn loved for me to draw the star and the circle so that he could make his U. So proud!!! On top of that, Quinn REALLY searched for U’s everywhere we went. He’d get so excited when he’d find one! …And, he found a fun new show that he LOVES. Seriously, let your kids watch it…they’ll laugh out loud! :)

Up next: I
