Our letter C craft was by far our most popular yet. If I had known how much she was going to love the combination of glue and these little puffy pom-poms, I would have started with a much larger palette to create our Letter C Caterpillar. This was also our first experience with little googly eyes, and she was pretty excited about those as well. (But seriously...who doesn't love googly eyes?)Since the big C and little C look so similar, discussing uppercase and lowercase letters was a challenge this week. On the other hand, she began to comprehend the concept of size pretty well this week, and is pretty good at telling us whether something is big or little now. (Clifford is big, his friend T-Bone is little. Airplanes are big, birds are little. Abby is big, and so is Caleb, apparently.)
She still pronounces caterpillar "cap-a-piwer" but I'm not exactly stressed out about correct pronunciation of four-syllable words at this point. By the end of the week, she seemed pretty confident about a number of words that begin with C, and enjoyed sounding out "c-c-Cabey" (Caleb), "c-c-cayons" (crayons), and "c-c-cake" to name a few.
