We had a lot of fun with Blueberries for Sal. This is the first time I've ever read my littles this book and they really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it....what a sweet story.
Letter B sensory bin.
Bear Bingo tray. I just had Silas match the colors for this.
Working hard.
Glue the Bs on the blueberry bushes.
He had such a great time cutting out apples and gluing them for the letter A that I printed out this letter B with bears from
1+1+1=1 Animal ABCs series.
He really enjoyed this tray. Guess I will continue to do this.
Bear Painting.
He enjoyed using a different painting medium other than a paint brush. Using these little balls also gave the bear an unexpected furry look. Bonus! :) Love when something unplanned that is cool happens.
Finished bear. One of Asa's alphabet sheets....no idea where the big B went......I will probably find it someplace random at some point.
I felt the need to set up the easel one day and let the kids paint. lol I drew about 5 Bs for Silas to paint. He had a good time with it.
Asa and Silas helped make Blueberry, Banana muffins. I have been doing really good on my goal of getting the kids in the kitchen more with me.
Asa is really enjoying his Explode the Code.....what a great resource. My kids just love doing their ETC pages.
Using our GeoSafari Phonics pad.....learning more about the B sound.
Working on sorting and patterning in our Saxon K. So far this has been relatively easy for him we've been moving at a good pace through it. That is nice since it gives me the freedom to not do a lesson everyday. :)
The kids were being really quiet one day....one of those 'too quiet' moments that kind of strikes fear in the heart of a mom and you don't know what you're going to find as you walk around the corner. lol I was pleasantly surprised when I found an impromptu art class in session (believe me I was expecting syrup, or hair cutting, or wall painting/coloring). Straws, glue, and big paper = these creations.....plus cooperation, getting along, and quiet....wonderful combination.
I really wanted to do t
his balloon activity with them again...they LOVED it, but I just didn't have the time to set it up. Maybe another time. Up next is The Very Hungry Caterpillar for the letter C. Happy blogging!

ReplyDeleteAwesome! You do such an incredible job with consistency. I'm impressed :D I would have started out strong and most of it would have been dropped by week 3. My hat's off to you :D
ReplyDeleteHi There! Great job on this article, it really help parents on how to train their children reading at very young age. Also, preschool teachers will not be having a hard time on teaching students on how to read.
ReplyDeleteOur facility is fully accredited and our teachers are trained professionals, but it’s their true enthusiasm and the connections they build with the children and foster among the children that makes the family magic.
preschool reading, ma
Great post.
