I have started homeschooling my 3 year old daughter while I homeschool my 5 and 7 year old. I started her off with her letters this week,.
Here are some of the activities we did this week to learn, recognize and sound out the letter A.
Stamp apples with the dotters
I added some red fingerpaint in the center of a paper plate and had her fingerpaint the plate red and then we added the stem and leaf - apple
Then I laid out number flash cards and she matched the correct amount red "apples" to the corresponding number.
I cored 6 red apples and then had my daughter add the sugar (1/2 cup) and cinnamon (1 teaspoon) over the apples and give it a good mix.
Pour the apples into the pie crust which I already purchased pre-made. Then bake for 50 minutes on 400 degrees. I did not add a top crust - it's more of an open apple pie.
Here are some of the resources I used for this learning time:
