Letter A as in Ant Preschool Theme

Today we talked about the letter A and to go along with the letter A we talked about ants.

We will be going through the alphabet throughout the year following Confessions of a Homeschoolers Letter of the week printables.  Since she has printables for the letter A with ants that what we talked about today.

She has a number of great activities to go with this theme.  You can find her printables here. 

These are some pictures I took of my son enjoying a few of the activities you can find there.

 Lacing card for a capital A.

 Lacing card for a lower case a.

 Counting cards.

 Ant size sorting

 A is for ant puzzle.

 Upper case and lower case matching.

 Shape matching.

Here is a lower case letter a that my son had a blast painting.

Another cute ant preschool pack we used was from 2 Teaching Mommies.

 These are ant pattern cards.

There are a few tracing pages too.  Since my son is at the beginning of writing I had him trace along the dots with his finger.

We also sang "The A says a.." You can find a little video of my kindergarten singing it when he was younger here to get the hang of the tune.

We also visited Starfall to do the letter A activities there.

My son's favorite activity of the day appeared to be watching this little video of "The Ants Go Marching".  He watched it a dozen times and showed it to his older brother too.
