{Activities}
Coloring...Letter Gg, Goodnight Moon coloring page

Gingerbread...G is for gingerbread dot to dot. This was a great exercise for getting letters in the correct order and drawing lines! Little Bit loves dot to dots....so I keep incorporating them into our weekly plans!
...I printed off a blank outline of a gingerbread person and then drew some circles in different places for little bit to add embellishments. She used google eyes, pom poms and beads to turn the blank outline into a cute little gingerbread girl!

Letter Identification...
find the letter worksheet
...do a dot letter printables

Spelling...We worked on spelling GOAT this week. I wrote the word and drew a picture on our dry erase board. Each day I had Little Bit spell and sound out the word.
...tray with magnetic letters and cards with words {GOAT, GET, GO}. Little Bit placed the corresponding letters over the letters on the cards...while sounding out each letter.

Math...I found this Goodnight Moon counting sheet to try because Little Bit loves that book. She loved doing this worksheet. She would first identify the object and then count them. I would write the number on the line. Then she would identify the written number. She wanted to do this activity multiple times!

Computer time...Starfall {we worked in the ABC section with the letter G} and Fisher Price{they have some great learning games and online coloring pages}.
...Little Bit also loves to get in some computer time when we go the library {which we visit every week!} They have computers set up in the children's area with games, stories, etc. Her favorite one to do is Just Grandma & Me by Mercer Mayer. She puts on the headphones and watches/listens to the story!
