Letter of the Week

I got these BRILLIANT ideas from my friend Lindsay who used to be an elementary teacher, is now an awesome mom, and she organized our ward's play group.  She did some of these ideas...

I have been teaching Brayden a different letter for each week!  Well I do it for a couple weeks, take a break, and start it up again.  I'm just now on "C" and I started a while ago :).  During "C Week" for example, I pin up "C" on our bulletin board.

We do a "letter bag" where I pin the letter C on a fun gift bag and fill it with things like... Car, Candy, Cottonball, Crayon, Cat... so he learns different words that start with that letter.

 I check out lots of books from the library whose titles have the letter C.  Or, I just get out books we already have.
