So Long S (wrap up week 24)

Bible
The third day of our Bible story we used the magnetic board for story telling assistance.

Day four we talked about what types of people usually serve and why it was so shocking to the disciples that Jesus was serving them. We used the magnetic board for this too.

Alphabet

The Dragons worked on things in their Weekly Folder. There was a spider book, finding the letter s in the Itsy Bitsy Spider poem, and some coloring pages for them too.

The Dragons made snakes on their letter s using pipe cleaners and googly eyes and added it to the alphabet wall.

Community Helpers

We used our community helpers for handwriting practice. I put a picture on the board then The Dragons told me what they did and how they helped our community, then they wrote the name of the helper under the picture. Even Little Dragon did some handwriting.

We grabbed a discovery pack from the library that matched our theme Community Helpers. Inside there were mini pieces to make a community and play out things that happen in our community.

The Dragons set up their desks next to each other so they could play together and have a big town.

This little town was out for days! Things were added too, like super heroes and ponies.

Games

Not only were the pieces in the discovery pack for playing pretend with they were also a game. There were little cardboard cards that could belong in either the fire station, the police station, or the post office.

We placed all of the cards face down then each dragon had a turn choosing a card. They identified what was on the card then chose the right building for the card. For example the parcel went to the post office, the fire hat goes in the fire station, etc.

Sensory

Failed slime aka...

I don't know what I did wrong here to get goo from the slime recipe. I mixed liquid starch with glue and it never solidified. I stirred and stirred.

Oh well, it was still fun for The Dragons to put their hands in :)

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

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.

Teeth Craft

This craft went with our meat eater unit you can see here I was having a difficult time thinking of activities for meat eaters. I didn't want the sole focus to be on dinosaurs because carnivores and herbivores is a way to categorize many animals today. But everything I was running into was dinosaur related. Finally I found this craft! Materials: paper template of a carnivore and herbivore (I drew a hippo and t-rex head outline) page of teeth scissors glue markers Little Dragon cut out the heads and then the mouth pieces. Then he cut out the teeth and glued them inside the mouth To finish it he drew eyes on the head and a tongue on the inside of the mouth. Little Dragon was very excited to see the finished animals and open their mouths to look at their teeth. We wrote what the animal was on the inside This was a fun easy craft that helps identify the difference in the teeth between carnivore an
