Each week I share 2-3 posts sharing our home preschool learning. This post is only sharing our letter focused work. If we have a theme of the week, it will be a separate post too. All of our general play based learning will be in a final weekly wrap up post called, “Learning with Ladybug.” I am separating out the posts to make them easier for people to find down the road when searching for specific letter/theme activities. See our entire home preschool plan here!

We love our ABC Baskets! I love how much she enjoys digging through them. We play a lot together during the week exploring the contents.
Usually on one day during the week, I will pull out all of the puzzles and display them as an invitation for her to complete them, she almost always accepts the invitation!
Pushing the pegs into the letter M…
I gathered some of our books about mice, moose, and monkeys!
I drew an M on our easel and drew one mouse, thinking that’s what we would add to our letter. The kids had a different idea and decided M was for Minecraft!
CRAFTS
She loves the paint cut and glue crafts from Learn, Create, Love. This week we made the mouse!
PRINTABLES
I create a binder with all of the printables I chose and allowed her to flip through and choose something to do.
We used glitter and glue to create our letter Mm from the Q-Tip alphabet printables. She didn’t want to use a Q tip!
The next few printables are from the Letter M pack which is available here. This printable pack was given to us from a kind blog reader who also creates printables!
I decided to try the word puzzles and although she didn’t LOVE them, she definitely liked them. After we put them all together, with the help of a Littlest Pet Shop bug, we worked on sounds.
I would sound the word out slowly and she would move the bug to the word I was saying.
We used stickers to fin the words that begin with Letter M, she loves this activity!
Stickers again, to find the upper and lower case letter Mm.
ABC Find It! is a favorite still, so we had fun with that of course!
Working on her lowercase Animal ABCs letter m is for mole craft…
Our All About Reading Pre lesson for lowercase m was a moon, which we made with tinfoil!
Then, she painted the night sky black!
Working on “What begins with M?”
Krash used our letter construction kit to make this {it’s a mouse} for her!
Our finished Letter M work!
