i found a blog, via pinterest, that shows you how to make the letters of the alphabet into animals/objects [using construction paper], as an aid in teaching kids their letters.
ever since i had my little stress-out over starting preschool, i have been making extra efforts to teach chet more at home.
i figure, if i teach him good things at home, then there is no need to worry about him missing out at preschool this year.
so we started on our letters.
and i can't get over how well chet is doing.
it is fun to watch him learn.
kid are quick learners, huh?
it has really helped him to associate each letter with an animal.
chet has memorized A through J.
[plus he knows any letter after J that he has dubbed as neat - O, S, T].
for the craft, i get all the pieces ready and then chet is in charge of gluing them together.
and coloring when needed.
here are a couple close ups:
one night, when i was away for young womens, matt and chet hung the letters up in the boys' room.
[our fridge was looking too busy..
especially because we have to hang everything up out of holden's reach!]
i know the letters are just construction paper hung on yarn, but i love them.
fun fact:
chet's favorite words to spell are 'LEASING OFFICE'.
because we walk past the leasing office at our complex at least 6 times/day and chet insists on practicing those words every single time!
he rocks at it now.
