More G Action on Thursday and Friday

On Thursday and Friday, we practiced writing the letter G, colored some G things, and made another G book (this time focusing on the hard G sound).   This time our G song was the same except we sang about the "ga" sound instead of "ja."  So we included things like, grapes, goose, groundhog, gorilla, goat, grasshopper, and girl.  Kaden is really liking the songs and today he was signing our G song with me at lunch.  He is really getting into it as well as signing Twinkle Twinkle little star.  Jae still won't sing for me.

 Write now we are working on him keeping his hand down while writing and, you can see his is improving.  Here he is writing with his right hand.  He writes with his left as well, but I think he does better with his right.  We can't tell 100% if he is a lefty or a righty. 

 Here they are coloring in their gorillas.  They are definitely getting better at coloring in the lines.

Here is the Hard G book.  It featured the words: grapes, gorilla, goose, goat, and groundhog.  When they did this, I had them match the words that were the same so they could tell which picture goes on each page.  This took a lot of scrutiny and was quite a challenge, but they were able to do it with some accuracy by the time we finished this activity. 


We also did a Grasshopper page that also had them practice tracing a capital and lower case G.
