Letter A (Lesson 5)

We continue our lesson on letter A today. I make a apple tree using felt cloth. The main intention of this tree is to teach Javier numbers and also sing a song on number. But my little boys more interested in plucking the apples from the tree and hear me sing silly rhyme songs.

The boys playing with the apples
Next, I let Javier do some pasting of apple and alligator.

He enjoyed playing with the glue.

I drew some apples for the boys to colour

For this craft, I was intending to make a 'Apples in the basket', but the completed art don't look anything like it. :(

I drew a basket for putting the apples

After the boys have completed colouring the apples, I put it inside the basket. Next I put some glue on it for them to stick the sticks on the apples to make it look like the apples are inside the basket. (Sound complicated?????)

This handprinting craft is rather messy but fun. First I make a hand print of Javier hand on the paper.

Next, I dipped the shower sponge onto the green paint for Javier to make the tree leaves. Follow by printing the red apples using his little fingers.

We played a game of colour sorting. Next, I showed Javier the card on the apple before and after cutting. After which I took a real apple and show it to him and cut and show him the inside of the apples.

Yum, Yum Yum... Enjoying his apple

We read the book 'Chicka Chicka abc'. Both my boys like this book alot. They can ask me to read this book over 10 times a day.
