It's a question I hear at least once a day. Is it my birthday yet??
My twins will be four in less than a month, and they get it this time. They have thoroughly enjoyed celebrating their 6 and 7-year-olds brothers birthday, but they can't wait for the focus to be on them. They have already decided what cakes they want. My little girl wants a pink Peppa Pig cake, and her brother has decided on a PJ Mask blue cake. And their grandmother, our family cake maker, has agreed to make two cakes this year so both feel special!!
As their birthday quickly approaches, it has been a reminder to step back and see what they need to accomplish academically this year.
Phonics
This year I have a few very simple goals, for my almost four-year-olds. Our first goal is to have a better understanding of time. I have set up a calendar in our school room, and we will be focusing on days, months, dates, and words like yesterday, today, tomorrow, week and month.
- During our math time, we will be focusing on number recognition and one-to-one correspondence up to 10.
- I want them to be able to recognize and spell their names.
- Developing fine motor skills such as cutting and holding pencils are high on my list.
- And of course, I plan on conquering the alphabet.
Lower Case Letter Do - A - Dot Printables
My little girl struggles with many learning concepts, and the alphabet has been quite a challenge for her. I am constantly looking for hands on, and fun activities that she enjoy doing and helps her practice letters.
She loves Do-A-Dot markers, and so any learning that involves these markers are a hit with her.
These fun printables are a fun
Prep-Work for Lower Case Letter Do - A- Dot Printables
- First, print off the page with the letters you want to practice.
- Next, grab Do-A-Dot Markers and crayons.
- Finally, sit down with your 3 - 6-year-old and have some fun.
How to use!
The lower case letter do-a dot printables are very easy to use, and there is a ton of learning involved. These lower case printables allow them to practice saying vocabulary words, work on letter recognition, beginning sounds, and fine motor skills! I love to use them for preschoolers and kindergarten students who need to review beginning sounds.
All the children need to do is.....
- Say the name of the picture in the first box.
- Figure out what letter the name of the picture starts with
- Find the lower case letter
- Dot it with the Do - A - Dot markers
- To further practice fine motor skills, the students can color in the pictures
