ABC Summer

Last summer I saw on a friends blog that they did an ABC summer and I thought it was a great idea to help keep the kids occupied and hopefully still learning something throughout the summer. So, I decided to give it a try. She has some great ideas so I've copied a few of hers and come up with a few on my own. I decided we would do a new letter each Tuesday and Thursday, and then do story time at the library and the park on Wednesdays. Tuesday was our first day of our ABC Summer and so we started with the obvious . . . A! We first had Ants on a log (raisins on string cheese) for a snack.

Then we did the ABC's and practiced writing the letter A. Then we did Alphabet Sand (just fill a plate with sand of choice . . . sugar at our house) and let the kids practice drawing letters (and shapes for Griff) in the sand.

We finished up with lunch at Arctic Circle. The boys loved it and have been asking ever since when we get to do the next letter!

I'm going to try and post as many letters as possible throughout the summer so I can remember for next year . . . just a warning :)
