Atom Ant and apple slices.
I think I'm going to find some more "a" items and put them in the room. Once we do a, m, t, and s, he'll be ready for BOB book # 1. He really enjoyed this activity.
After that, we read the Blue Number Counting Book.
We read it twice and he was pretty engaged the whole time.
Then we moved onto the Red Letter Alphabet Book.
He was not as engaged in this book. He really needs a tactile letter experience where we can pick just a few letters (like the sandpaper letters we have yet to purchase, perhaps soon).
We did some letter sounds and then he got up to play with his tools.
I attempted to pull him back in by looking for the letter sounds that correspond to his tools. Like "s" saw...
But, really, he wasn't interested, so I just let him play.
I would like to set up a new practical life activity where he can use real tools. He has a high interest in them right now, especially hammers. He has a hammer activity on the shelf, but tends to like getting out his "tool set" (Handy Manny tool set) then gets frustrated that these tools don't actually fix anything. Suggestions for homemade activities that could make use of his favorite tool set would be highly appreciated!
