Some activities that we did:

The books that I checked out for these learning activities:
My "a" Sound Box by Jane Belk Moncure
Apples by Jacqueline Farmer
Ten Apples Up On Top! by Dr. Suess
Paul Thurlby's Alphabet by Paul Thurlby
Apples, Apples, Apples by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace
For the letter "B", Gabrielle has decided that she wants to learn about bugs and baseball. This is going to be fun! I've located some picture books of historical female baseball players. Of course, we've already planned several field trips to Spring Training games - the two that will be here in Tucson, and a couple in Phoenix. Our whole family is looking forward to the games, especially Gabrielle and her daddy. For bugs, we are going to the Butterfly Magic exhibit at Tucson Botanical Gardens.
