~ Ladybug is 41 Months Old ~
V is for Vulture, but I sure don’t have any stuffed vultures for her to play with! Since we are doing letter baskets now I don’t have a fancy desk set up to share, but here is her Letter V basket…
She enjoys digging through it, especially to find the puzzle pieces and then magnets.
Here she was putting all of the magnets on her Letter Vv Dot Fun. This set is included in the Animal ABC Bundle, or you can purchase the set as a stand alone set for $1.25 on Teacher’s Notebook.
After it was all out, I arranged it and snapped a pic so you could see what was in it! Alphabet Soup set, ABC peg set, Magnetic Letters, Ladybug Alphabet Puzzle, and more!
The printable items shown below are all available here on the Animal ABCs webpage. {files are released for free when they are posted on the Totally Tots blog for the ABC feature, letter V is not free yet, but it will be
She was thrilled to do her cutting, and did it with ease!
We dot painted her letter V…
Gluing her vultures down…
She colored all of her vultures and then Krash hid the for her to find…
She colored and worked on all of her other Letter V extras, I just forgot to take any pics!
We are back to doing All About Reading Pre Level 1 once a week. I am not expecting mastery from Ladybug, just using this program as a way to expose her to the Big Five Skills.
She totally shocked me this week. The lesson was sorting 1, 2, and 3 syllable words.
I thought certainly this would be a model and follow lesson. Oh was I ever wrong. I showed her one time and she did them all. After a few cards in I quickly grabbed my phone to take a video!
She is very into making letter with whatever she has. Here she was showing me the T she made with our Measuring Motors roads…
“Wook Mommy, wettah L!”
Seeing how much fun she was having, I got out our How to Build an A book and supplies, she loved it!
Wedgits building…
We made long patterns with learning links. She was unhooking the chains for me so we could use certain colors in our pattern.
Our new Color Cubes from Learning Resources were her favorite activity this week! She sat with me for so long and would have continued if we would have had more time!
I am working on a more organized way to manage the apps we use for school time. An idea I am testing out right now is printables, cut into cards to show the apps I want her working on. You can see the sleeve of choices to the right on the table. I DO plan to share this full idea and our feedback as soon as I can. I will also share the printables and a how-to-make-your-own! Already she was reminded of a beloved app I think she had recently forgotten about, The ABC’s of God. She saw the image in her choices and picked it first!
After sitting at my desk for awhile, she moved to the bean bag! {her purple tray is here, but get it at Michaels if you can, it’s only 4.99 or less with a coupon!} 
She also loves BINGO Junior and had asked k for a bit of help here…
Another iPad favorite is our Readeez videos. She loves these so much, so do I! {she has the iPad propped up in an old photo frame stand}
My girl is gonna learn to read simply by sitting in on her brother’s All About Reading and Spelling lessons! Anytime she sees me doing them with him, she scoots herself close by and just soaks it in. It really is crazy how drawn she is to this.

Friday is our day off and this past one I spent the day CLEANING massively while Daddy hung out with kiddos! At one point I walked down and saw this…
