K is for Kite

By thisreadingmama 2 Comments

Our last consonant-the letter K!  I was hoping it’d be spring time when we got around to it, since our theme is kites; but we got snow instead!

Our first snow of the year…hard to believe it took this long to get snow this winter, but everyone enjoyed it with daddy.  (Hubby wouldn’t let mama go out, for fear that I’d fall…a good call by a very loving husband.  I’m definitely not in the best shape of my life at 38 weeks pregnant!)

Gotta love the K poke page!

Kite Fun

FREEBIE: K or not K Sorting

Kite letter do-a-dot: I pulled out one of every capital letter tile, he found the lower case letter kite and dotted it.  He LOVES this activity!

I found this idea on Making Learning Fun.  I traced kite patterns on colored construction paper (red, yellow, green, & blue) to match our plastic clothespins.  I labeled them 0-10, whole punched them at the bottom, and tied a matching piece of yarn.  His job: to match the color and the number of clothespins on the yarn…great for fine motor.

He made such a big deal about it that everyone had to give it a try!

Roll a Kite

Kite Coloring Page-While MBug (at 20 months) has already figured how which hand is her dominate, NJoy (at 3 years, 4 months) still switches back and forth quite often.  Here he’s coloring with both hands at the same time!

Kite: Color by Number

Kite Pattern Block

ALuv found a kite book in his bin of Scott Foresman independent readers called Up in the Sky and he decided he needed to read it to NJoy.  Good call!

K is also for Keys

Counting Keys-a great K manipulative to have!

MBug preferred to use the key rings as bracelets.

Key Do-a-dot– (from Letter K Tot School Printables)

Key Shape Tracing-he loved this activity so much that he kept doing it over and over again in different colors of dry erase marker!

At the end of our study, we placed a kite picture above the letter K on NJoy’s Picture Wall.

Thanks for joining This Reading Mama on a literacy journey!

    your son has the ability to use both hands, and that is a wonderful gift. I am able to use both, but more dominate left. Don’t try to control him to use a specific hand, he will either chose a dominated hand or choose to remain using both. That is also a sign of a gifted child. They are able to use both sides of the brain. compare to regular child that can only use one side of their brain with use of their one hand.
