We started with the Itsy Bitsy Book for the letter M. We reviewed the M-words by looking at my book while I cut hers out. She even helped me color by added more blue to the milk.
Hailey was allowed to use Markers to color the monkey. When we finished one page, I cut it out while she did the next one.
We also talked about facial features while I glued all the pieces together.
YEAH!!!! Here is the completed Monkey Mailbox. To keep the monkey up straight I glued him to a Popsicle stick.While we waited for the glue to dry, we read monkey books. We read "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" and "Five Little Monkeys with Nothing to Do" by Eileen Christelow. Hailey loves the books and shakes her little finger at the jumping monkeys. I wanted to read "Meerkat Mail" by Emily Gravett but we run out of time. (Robert is teething so when he's awake he is generally fussy.)
After her nap time, the mail carrier came. Hailey was excited to get the letters in her own mailbox. This letter up above is from her Grampa. He wrote the letter to her in the shape of a M.
I love her cute little face as she looks at the letters.
It was fun to read the letters with her. These will be a great thing to keep and look back at when she can read. I think she will really treasure them.
I was reading Hailey the letter from her Aunt Kerstin. It was so cute hearing her say "Monkey" and "Kerstin", I tried to record.
Here's a picture of Hailey's Monkey Mail and mailbox. Thank you so much to those who wrote letters. It made it more enjoyable to have letters from other people besides her parents.
