Letter W – say whaaa!? Only 3 to go y’all!
Letter W brings to mind one of my all time favorite children’s books, Where the Wild Things are by Maurice Sendak. I loved that book as a child and again now as a parent to my own little wild things.
That’s just one of the great books in this week’s Letter W lesson plan. There are tons of adorable crafts too!
