Big Energy-Little Learners...Can I do it all?

Little Dragon worked on his double digit numbers with this This was an easy activity to make Materials paper with an egg drawn on it and numbered an extra paper with numbers for reference plenty of stickers The reference guide was a saver for Little Dragon.  He has numbers 1-10 down but needs a practice with 11-20 which is why I made this activity.   He was able to get through it alright and he did a lot of counting to make sure he had the right number or how many more stickers he needed.  He was very proud when he finished and focused during the activity.   This could easily be modified for many themes or lines on a paper just to practice numbers.  Thanks for checking out my blog!  I would love to read your comments and feel free to share!       

I know I know a typical Easter letter choice and theme.  But Little Dragon hadn't quiet mastered letter E yet and Easter was the perfect time to reiterate this letter, plus I thought it would help him remember.   We started the week of with our bin of eggs You can call it a sensory bin because there are some sensory experiences here, but none my dragons hadn't experienced before. This week We played some egg games  Stack 'Em Don't Crack 'Em Egg Toss Minute to Win It Roll and Stack We practiced handwriting and reading on the white board The older dragons unscrambled the words and Little Dragon had to read the unscrambled word. And fixed sentences Little Dragon had to find all of the letter e's in the sentence He also did some standard letter E handwriting Little Dragon worked in his red binder In the red binder we go over what day it is the number of the day (the date) before and after  cl...

I had a little difficulty coming up with a letter E Egyptian activity but once I found the Egyptian pack this was a bit easier.  With all the great graphics in the pack we used them to make an Egyptian scene on the letter E.  Before we started making the scene we reviewed the different pictures.  Then I asked Little Dragon to create a picture. Little Dragon wasn't quiet getting it at first so I gave him an example. Then he got the idea and was very excited about creating a scene.  We talked and did a little role play as we created the scene.  Wa-la Egyptian scene on the letter E, another letter done .

Identifying emotions is important for preschoolers.  It helps them identify how they are feeling then they can learn to handle their feelings appropriately.   Some feelings were new to The Dragons, such as jealousy, annoyed, and grief.  They may have felt them before but didn't know what they were called. Bible  The Dragons acted out some different emotions then using the whiteboard together we drew some emotions Jesus may have felt after resurrecting from the grave, how his disciples may have felt. Using the felt board The Dragons retold the story of Jesus dying on the cross then resurrecting.  During the time we were focusing on E our church held a Passover meal.  We attended the meal, which was really neat, and The Dragons recognized some of the aspects of Jewish traditions from our bible readings.  Using our plastic Eggs we made an Easter anagram that us under crafts below along with a resurrection craft.  Crafts ...

I am posting this late, as you can tell from all of the Easter Eggs.  We did this lesson plan Easter week.   The bible focus was Jesus conquering the grave.  E is for Emotions Bible What better to focus on for Easter then Jesus?  The story of Jesus being crucified and rising again is amazing!  I always get excited talking about Jesus, especially what he did for me.  Bible verse : "He is not here, He has risen!" - Luke 24:6 There are many steps leading up to the crucifixion that are important to go over.  Through the course of the week we focused on the emotions of those involved in the different stories.  Day 1: We read about Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and being betrayed by Judas.  We discussed how Jesus may have felt, how Judas may have felt, and how the other disciples may have felt.    Day 2: We read about Jesus's trial and carrying the cross.  We discussed how Jesus may have felt an...
