I love this little project because it’s cute, you can work on it for a few weeks, and it can use lots of skills:
- letters
- letter sounds
- cutting with scissors
- gluing
- identifying and choosing objects
- writing letters
If your student is more advanced, hand them a few magazines, some scissors, and let them find objects that begin with certain letters to glue on corresponding letters in a notebook. For my group, I went ahead and cut out a few objects that started with a, b, and c for Day 1, and let them choose which “a” object they wanted to glue, etc etc. (Lots of cutting…don’t you love projects that work on your fine motor skills too? 🙂 ). I also went ahead and wrote the letters on each page. They really enjoyed saying b-b-BLUEBERRIES, b-b-BIRDS! for each object which reiterates learning letter sounds. And glue sticks are always a hit! I let them use their scissors on some scrap magazines at the end because they are so excited about their scissors. These are my favorite first scissors.

Life is not infinite. Of course, this is a not a secret, but do we often remember about it? How can we find out the value of life staying motionless? They say if you don’t like the place where you are – move, you’re not a tree after all. By the same rule, I want to say that traveling – is an important component of interesting life. Let’s not waste life for nothing but explore this wonderful earth glob! It remains to take a step, just click world’s wonders and you will see all the riches of our world which are near to us. Very often various natural anomalies are just close to us, but we can’t find time for knowing the world. begin reading not fashion magazines but brochures with travelling tips. A well known poem says “What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare…” Let’s change our life!
