We started off with reading the Along the Alphabet Path story and oral narration. While listening to the beautiful fairy song, the kids painted their Columbine flower fairy picture. The Alphabet Flower Fairy songs are all available on Amazon Music which makes it super convenient to just play on your phone. You can get the Flower Fairies Alphabet coloring book on Amazon or you may have some luck googling it. I highly recommend printing on cardstock if you plan on painting them. We also had a simple discussion about the Columbine flower using my flower facts card.
The next day we read about the patroness of musicians, Saint Cecilia, in our special red book, the Catholic Alphabet Book of Saints. Afterward, we said a prayer to Saint Cecilia and they colored a picture that you can find here.
Both the Alphabet Saint Prayer cards and Flower Fact cards are available to download for free.

The author for letter C: Eric Carle
Who doesn’t love Eric Carle books?! His signature, unique, colorful illustrations are a favorite amongst our family. For those interested in doing an author study can read a biography of Eric Carle HERE.
The Nonsense Show and the Slowly, Slowly, Slowly Said the Sloth are the favorite Eric Carle books from this week. They all drew their favorite picture from them.
Dancing to the Columbine fairy song, learning about the lovely Saint Cecilia, learning more about Michael’s journey in the Along the Alphabet Path, and enjoying Eric Carle’s colorful books was a fun week! Next week… Letter D.
