Letters X, Y, Z

Hello again,

This week instead of focusing on just "X", I decided to finish off the alphabet with X, Y, Z.  Partly because there aren't as many things out there for those letters, and partly because the impatient part of me is ready to move on to new preschool studies after the alphabet.  

Here are the books we've enjoyed this week:

X is a stretch, so we went with anything that had an "x" in the title":

Letter W

I try to plan ahead and request books at the library a week or two in advance so I can have the books ready for pickup by the week I need them.  Sometimes I am not that organized, however and I do what I call the "hunt and peck" method, which is wandering through the picture books looking for books with the letter of the week in the title.  I'm amazed at how many I can find using this method.  So I did request some W books from other blog posts I found online, but still wanted a few more books (my kids can easily go through 5-10 a day if I am giving them one-on-one time or together time with mommy or daddy).  These were our favorites this week:

Letter V

This year I have been teaching my daughter preschool at home.  Thanks to all the many great ideas online I have been able to piece together a letter of the week curriculum and find most of the books other bloggers have mentioned at our public library.  

Can I just say how much I love the library?  All those books to read and for free, and I don't have to own them and take up the space in our already-cramped house.  Plus, I tend to get sick of reading the same books over and over so I'm grateful for the chance to return books and get something different.  ;)

This week we are on letter V.  I got a little behind schedule since we were sick several weeks during the winter.  But my daughter didn't mind doing Valentine crafts and activities after the fact so we're all good.  :)

I just thought I'd share some of the fun books we read this week and then eventually I'll go back through the alphabet.
