Finishing Fire Week 11 Wrap Up

The end of our week went well.  We continued to work on the letter F even after preschool hours.  I am not usually good at this but Jerry was this week.  I told him about my worries and he really  helped out by pointing out the letter F often.

Bible
We continued to read the story of the fiery furnace everyday.
Thursday Little Dragon made a picture of the three men and the angel in the burning fiery furnace

Fiery Furnace
Materials

  • 2 pcs of construction paper
  • pencil
  • markers
  • tissues
  • glue
  • scissors

The lesson called for tissue paper but I didn't have any on hand and could not run to the store to buy some, so Little Dragon made his own.  
I gave him some tissues and he colored them with red, orange, and yellow markers. 




Little Dragon drew 4 figures on construction paper.  He gave them eyes, hair, and belly's of course.

Next he cut them out and glued them onto the second piece of construction paper.  He moved on to cutting up our homemade tissue paper then glued that on top of the figures.

I wrote the bible verse on the top as we said it together.



 On Friday Doll Dragon made a fire wand to use with puppets to act out the story.


Fire Wand
Materials

  • Jumbo craft stick
  • red and orange tissue paper
  • tape/glue
Doll Dragon cut the tissue paper into strips.  Together we taped them onto the craft stick. 

We called it a fire wand. 









Alphabet
There was a bit more work in the week 11 folder but not much.  The dragons finished that quickly.  
For the alphabet notebook Little Dragon spent some time on Thursday circling the letter F in a magazine.  Friday he cut out the circled letters and glued them in his notebook. 


We brainstormed some words that started with the letter f with some help from grandma.

Little Dragon wrote the f's and I finished writing the word.  













The dragons decorated their letter F printouts with more fire.  This time instead of construction paper we used tissue paper.  The tissue paper was cut up into small squares and then glued onto the letter F.  Then the letter f was cut out. 





Of course we added the letter f to our Treasure Map. 






Number
Little Dragon made his number 6 flash card.


 And six bunnies on the back




Fire Play
It took some time but I finally got Little Dragon engaged in the fire house.  I took out a bunch of other magnets to add to the fire house.  He wanted to act out the people in trouble and the fireman coming to the rescue, of course, silly me.  A house with no people is no fun at all! 

We played fire house for awhile.  I got bored before he did. 












We also sorted cars and trucks and facing left or right.

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used:  Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate.  While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks.   Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces.  Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom.  They make a neat decoration.

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly.   I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint.  The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into.  Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad.  Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting!   The squirting went on and on.  I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue.     Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them.  With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used:  Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets.   I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back.  I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too.    Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet.  One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
