Week 3:
whew! This past week was packed full of fun.
This week we worked on the Letter B!
I happened on the best website bursting of free adorable & very well thought printables. www.confessionsofahoneschooler.com
Since Karly's Dance classes just started back up last Saturday I decided to go with:
B is for Ballerina!
http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2011/08/letter-b-for-ballerina-free-preschool-printables.html (here are all the free printables!!!)
Dotting B: she loves these Bingo Markers (you can get them at the Dollar Store)
Karly is a puzzle FREAK! She can beat me at puzzles any day of the week. Must get it from her father! ;) She is was excited to make her very own.
Hard to see (sorry bad lighting) but this is the Patterns Worksheet. Love it!
Journal time: Draw a picture of a ballerina. For whatever reason she wanted her ballerina to be Light Green so she is kinda hard to see, but I loved that she added a tutu on her!
Animals on Land or Sea: I found awesome Animal Planet Sticker packs at Big Lots for $1.50 loaded with stickers of 'real' animals. I divided the paper in half: one side Land Animals & other side Sea/Water Animals & she had to figure out what columns the animal lives in...
Story Time! Buster is a super cute book with lots of B words. We also read Elmo's B is for Book.
As much as I love academic curriculum I am also a HUGE fan of practical life learning. So to stay along our B theme. In the BATH we use washcloths. Karly learned how to fold a washcloth. As you can see, she thought this was the best thing ever!
Snack-- BlueBerries!
Craft: Bear. http://www.first-school.ws/t/craft/bearcd_headbw.htm -- click link for template & print out.
B is for Butterfly. Mosaic Butterfly. I cut squares of tissue paper & she glued it on the butterfly. http://www.first-school.ws/t/pattern/butterfly-1.htm
After a playdate with a Bunch of Bigby's! LOL!
We finished up the day by BAKING cookies... Which is also a great way to introduce Letter C!
**On a side note! This is a great find. The dollar store had a huge pack of name tags for school desk. I took a few of them to laminate & bought a pack of dry erase markers (again hit up the $ store!) I dotted out her name on the cards before laminating so she can practice writing her name over & over & over! Often times this is keeping her busy while I am cooking dinner or picking up the house. Have I mentioned how much I love the dollar store & all its greatness!
C is for Candy!
Yes, I did it... (Bad mom, i know) I totally let her junk out on candy but she loved it & it was just for one day :)
Started C day off with learning about God's Creation:
Journal Time: Color a Creative Picture:
"This is a picture of the whole wide world" -- Karly.
Candy Corn Mosaic
Practice Writing C
Computer Time:
Often times in the midst of coloring sheets & projects she starts to ware out on me, so I 've started to throw in a little computer time/ video reinforcement. It gives her a time to veg out, yet she is still learning the topic.
Added in numbers this week: #2
How Many Candy Corns are in the Jar? An estimation game. I remember doing this all the time in school & never getting anywhere close... so I thought I would go old school & break it out for Karly. Looks like we will be doing this a lot,
"200!" was her estimate! :) (she was only one 0 too much!)
Candy Corn Count:
Roll the dice & eat the candycorn off the # you rolled.
A game for number recognition & counting.
Candy Collage
We finished up the Letter C with a trip to Crown Candy. What a fun place!
Had a refresher course in B as well as we ate out Banana Split! :)
So this was our week in a nutshell. I am finding out that I always over plan, these are just the projects we get to... Right now we are gearing up for D= DINO Week, she is super excited to start Letter D!
