X is for X Marks the Spot

Gotta love letter X!  It was tough to even come up with two days worth of material.  
Here's what did did!

Day 1

After doing the usual review, we learned letter X and its verse

"Let us examine our ways." - Lamentation 3:40

For our Intro to letter X activity, Parker made Xx's out of q-tips.  You know, like an x-ray?




Then we read


Next, we did a color-by-number xylophone.



I played the xylophone while we sang the ABC's.  Then I tried to teach Parker some simple songs. 


We finished by reading 


Day 2

We started by reading about the Exodus (when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt) in the 
Childrens Illustrated Bible.


Then we changed gears.  I made some X marks the spot tracing mats out of paper bags.


Parker traced the lines.



I tried to find a book about X marks the spot, but they were all chapter books, so Ryan made up a story about how he found this treasure map in the attic and that there might be some treasure under the red X.  Parker was excited to search for it!  

Sweet map eh?  (Compliments of my awesome husband)!


Ryan showed Parker how to read it.


Then it was time to go on an adventure!


It took us all around our block.




Until finally...



It was a special note that said we should go out for Fro-Yo!


Seems lame now that I'm writing about it, but Parker was more than happy to go out for a special treat =) 

Only two letters left!!
