We have been going through my preschool curriculum with my 4-year-old this year. Last week I shared our N is for Nest printable packet and I was happy to see that so many of you downloaded it! I hope that these packets will be helpful to you. Each week I'll be sharing a new packet.

Letter W & Alphabet Matching Game

My boys love water, so I thought centering W activities around water would be fun for them. To start out the week, we talked about what W sounds like. Then we opened our letter W alphabet box. I had him take out each item and tell me what they were. We listened for the /w/ sounds in each object. We also made our … [Read more...]
