Letter Gg

This week was letter Gg for KK. Here she is finding the Gg on the wall. 

We made Spielgaben Ggs on day 1. Sometimes I make them for her first and have her copy them. Sometimes it just seems to hard to make them, so she will just watch me make them and say the name and sound with me. Again my goal is recognition of the letter and for her to know the sounds. 

For most of the letters I try to have a little sign to help her remember the sound. For Gg we put our hand on our throats to hear the g sound. 

Day 2 we did a garden of Gg. I cut out circles and wrote letters on them and taped them to pipe cleaners. Some of the circles had Ggs and some other letters. When I make these types of activities I try to make letter that are similar to the one she is learning, to really test if she knows the letter or not. For example Gg I put some Qq in there.  

The first time I did it I held them and had her pick out the Gg and the second time she held them and gave me the Gg.

Day three I printed out goats and wrote on them just as I did above for the flowers. 

She had to glue the Gg goats to their goat house. 

She really enjoys these activities. Again you have to decide what your goal is for your child and for that day. For KK my goal was letter name and sound. I find what activities would help her learn the letters best and find things she likes. I may not do something for her that I did in the past with the other kids due to her lack of interest in that activity. I also only do three days of each letter.  With Doodle I did 4-5 on each letter because that was just what she needed to learn them. Isn't homeschooling great? We get to individualize our kids education!
