This week in Preschool we worked on the letter S. It was another fun week and it touches my heart that the kiddos really want to do school!!
We read books from the library about the sun
Practiced making S's in sand
Minnie made an S with her feet
Time outdoors enjoying the Sun
Talked about the importance of the sun (seasons, gardens, vitamin D)
Sensory Experience - blindfold kids & have them experience life without the sun
Painted Sun Pictures
Talked about how Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12)
Made Raisins (took over a week, but pretty cool!)
Read Moonbear's Shadowby Frank Asch & talked about shadows. We drew with chalk on our driveway & saw how our shadows changed throughout the day. - Made Sundial
S is for Star Wars
Goofy has never seen Star Wars, but he met the characters at Disney in May; ever since then he has talked about Star Wars. So when I saw Jolanthe had put together a Star Wars Preschool Pack I knew it would be a hit. Once again Homeschool Creations' Jolanthe has made a very impressive packet filled with lots of well done goodies: story with key words, what letter comes next, puppets, counting spaceships, pattering characters, prewritting skills, read/build/write, Letter trace pages (Yoda & Darth Vadar), measuring light sabers, building a book by gluing space ships next to/above/under, and more! Goofy did a great job reading the star wars book I found on Amazon & e had a great time doing all the seat work too. Minnie even traced on the line this week - I was shocked & thrilled!
Hope you have a "S" for sunny weekend,
Beth
