The Letter L

I taught joy school the week after Thanksgiving. We learned about the letter L, the number 11, and the color red.

On the first day I had the boys take turns drawing a L word out of a jar. We would do an activity (or a few activities) for that L word and then draw another word out.



Ladybug - we did a ladybug pom pom magnet picture and some ladybug puzzles (found here).



Then we had a ladybug snack (apple slices with raisins stuck on using peanut butter).



Lion - we went on a lion hunt.



We found lions with the numbers 0-11 on them and then put them in numerical order.



Lemons and Limes - we stamped using lemons and limes (cut in half) on a L. And then we drank pink lemonade.



Lamb - we glued cotton balls onto paper plates to make lambs.



Llama - we read the book Lana Llama's Little Lamb.

Lizard - we read the book Where's My Tail? and did a Lively Lizard tracing worksheet.

Legos - we built L's out of legos and ate candy legos.



The second day was more Christmas themed. We did a lot of Christmas light activities.

We did few different Christmas light pom pom magnet pictures (one found here, the other I can't find at the moment).



We ate rice krispy treats shaped like Christmas lights.



And while we ate, we watched a YouTube video of Christmas lights set to music.



We made Christmas lights with fingerprints.



I attempted to have them do some patterns with Christmas lights (found here), but they were so not into that...



We made a Christmas tree craft.



We played a Christmas number game (found here).



And finally did some color sorting with Christmas pictures.



It was a lot of fun! Although I'm really glad I got my week over with at the beginning of December. I can't even imagine having to host this week (or even last week) while also trying to do all the last-minute Christmas prep!
