Letter of the Day

It's been a LONG time since my last Blog Post .... but I'm back and ready to share some fun ideas with my Mommy friends. We are going to start something new this summer, Letter of the Day-theme activities. I've got great things to share that I've taken from classroom and other blogs. We've already started some of our letter fun this week and Cooper is having a blast! (Mason likes to watch, too!) :-)
