G is for Gumball

We completed letter G in one day.  George is really on a roll with his letters, at this rate we'll be finished the Letter of the Week curriculum in less than 2 months.  

We started with playdough and made the letter G.  Playdough is great as it keeps Grace happy playing next to us while I get some one on one time with George.

Letter building with wooden pieces. 

Wet dry try.  George surprised me this time and used his left hand when he normally favours his right for writing.  While he does form his letters better with his right hand I'm not going to tell him with hand to use.

Handwriting without tears work book.

The work book once finished letter G.
