Letter C

This week we did a combination of the Letter C and celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  We didn’t do a whole lot for MLK Day beside read books with pictures of people different from ourselves.  It worked well to talk about everything God created and then see that in picture and story form. 

Attribute of God: Creator

Story: Creation

Songs: God Made Me by Andrew Peterson and Randall Goodgame (Otherwise known as the blue song because of the video.  I’m tempted to buy the whole album. Warning: The song has been stuck in my head all week; no guarantees it won’t happen to you!)  We’ve also sung a simple God Made Me in the past. 

Craft: Glue clouds (cotton balls) to blue paper

Common vocabulary: cracker, cookie, candle, cake, cut, curious, crab, caterpillar, cup, crayon, colors, cut

Books: Looking out for Sarah, Susan Laughs, Global Babies, Some Kids Use Wheelchairs, Jazz Baby (Caleb likes all of these books.  I like all of them except Some Kids Use Wheelchairs.)

People We Know: Caleb, Grandma Carol, Cornel

Video: We watched “C is for Cookie” on Sesame Street, but Caleb wasn’t very interested.  Every time we tried to watch the video, he would beg for the blue song instead. 

Fun Stuff: Making cookies and the crab walk (not at the same time).  Caleb hasn’t mastered the crab walk yet, but it sure is fun to see him try!

Aww, Cornel made the name list! We feel loved. :) I would love to see a video of the crab walk. D, you are so creative! Totally impressed. Gonna have to look these letter weeks up in a year or so for Laura.
