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

Week 6 Letter: E Theme: Egypt Number: 6 Bible Story: Joseph the Dreamer Bible Verse: Each and every perfect gift is from above.  I hid the letter magnet only once this week. I was running out of hiding places moving it and Little Dragon lost a few letters during his hiding turn. ☺️ Start We did a lot of dancing like an Egyptian at the beginning of our days. This was a lot of fun! Of course I do owe a bit to The Bengals for such a great song.  Bible    Day 1- We read Joseph the Dreamer Activity- Jealous     Day 2- We read Sold!

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.

This week is coming to a close and Little Dragon still hasn't caught on to the letter F.   Before the holidays I thought I may need to extend the lessons for an additional week because Little Dragon is having a hard time retaining the information.  I am positive now that a week is not enough time for him.   I extended the letter K for two weeks and by the end of the second week he got it, but now he keeps saying K instead of F.  Perhaps I need to find a new way to transition. My lesson plan is planned for only a week and I don't know how to extend it yet.  He is 3 and maybe it is not necessary.  He doesn't need to have it memorized right now. Doll Dragon is only here for 2 days of our preschool and extending to two weeks will give her 4 days of the letter.  She already knows all of her letters but she enjoys being part of the activities and she is still exploring. :) If you are following the Gods Little Explorers lesson plan  from motherhood...
