Looking for activities to go along with teaching the letter P?  Look below to see the activities we have done! P is for pepperoni pizza!  We used brown and red crayons for crust and sauce, used yellow paper shreds for cheese and red circles for pepperoni for this letter P craft! The Letter Outline can be found here:  Capital Letter Outline          These letter P pages use pouch top to build each letter.  With one page for the capital letter P, and one page for the lowercase letter P, these pages were a favorite with my preschooler! These pages are found here:  Pouch Top Alphabet Mats Another favorite around here are playdough mats.  My boys have LOVED using playdough, so I try to incorporate that in all aspects of their schooling.   This page is found here:  Alphabet Playdough Mats These dot painting pages were a HUGE hit with my daughter.  She loves all things art, so I try to add some for her to do each week.  She insisted on completing these pages with her brothers!   These pag

So I have a new little obsession:  BOOM cards .  These online games are so much fun to make as well as for the kids to play!  My own kids beg to play them, and yesterday, my youngest two played games for their school time. BOOM cards are an entirely online platform for students to practice various academic skills.  It can be used on a computer, laptop, I pad, tablet or phone, via their website or app.  Students only need their personal username or password to play, or teachers can create links (fast pins) for students to simply click and play the decks.  Links to decks can also be inserted in google classroom and seesaw.  Boom cards provide excellent learning activities both at home (for a fun center) or at home to help with homework or distant learning situations. There are several kinds of activities you will find in BOOM cards.
