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

Recognizing uppercase/lowercase letters that belong together is important.  It is a key   oint in reading.  I have a few activities for this specific type of letter recognition but I don't do it often enough.   Little Dragon recently received a flyer from his out of home preschool showing what he needs to know for Kindergarten and capital/lowercase was listed.  I knew I hadn't worked on this often so I made sure to implement it in this weeks lessons.  This week was Easter week so we did the letter matching using plastic eggs.  They are there and I was trying to find as many ways to use them as possible. I also didn't have to dig through my past preschool things to find other matching activities.  This was right in front of me.  We grabbed the egg bin and I wrote the alphabet on the white board. Doll Dragon joined in this activity so I wanted to make it a tad more challenging and figured Little Dragon would be able to...

I feel like my blog posts have been very long of late.  I have been trying to play catch up and it is easier to write a whole week at once.  This time I am going to attempt to split up the week so I will have 2 posts about the letter r.  Monday I should be back to my regular schedule with my blog and posting twice a week again.

After the story each boy drew a Goliath face on a paper plate.  We took out the tape measure and measured 9 ft from the wall and taped the face there.  (I was going to tape the plate on the wall so the boys could have a better vi...

We worked on q for a couple weeks.  Little Dragon was not quite getting the letter so we took an extra week.  I also got sick so keeping to schedule was difficult. Bible We had a few stories to get through this week because the following lesson week we are focusing on David and Goliath. Q comes from the quail God provided during the Israelite's time in the wilderness. Our verse this week "My God will take care of all your needs." -Philippians 4:19 We also read about parting the Red Sea, the ten commandments, and Ruth and Naomi. There wasn't much to do with the white board for these stories. We did talk about the things God has provided for us, our blessings.  We also talked about the commandments.  There wasn't as much discussion on this, Little Dragon is only 3 and is still learning to listen to our rules I didn't want to overdue it adding all commandments.  There were a couple things that he could understand such as 'obey your parents'...
