Letter of the Week- Letter K
Mar
Our letter last week was the letter K. Here are some of the activities we did with the letter K:
Hailey made a K is for Kangaroo that I saw on Totally Tots.
Using the Hershey Kiss she made for Valentine’s Day, Hailey did a K is for Kiss.
I started using Raising Rock Stars Preschool curriculum a few weeks ago and Hailey has been doing great with it! Here are some of our RRSP activities for the letter K.
We start our week out with the memory verse. Hailey enjoyed coloring it.
Hailey cut out her letter K vocabulary words.
This was the first week we used the power point part of RRSP and Hailey loved it!! Here she is pointing to her sight word for the week- “your.”
Hailey practicing writing her the letter K.
Hailey working on her craft to go along with her verse.
Other things we did:
Hailey enjoyed her playdough mat using a printable from Homeschool Creations.
She did the letter K activities on Starfall.
Hailey colored and cut out letter K vocabulary words and turned them into a letter K book.
And here is a little math work in one of her Disney workbooks.
There’s a Wocket in My Pocket
Mar
On our last day of celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday we read There’s a Wocket in My Pocket. After we read the story we talked about rhyming. Hailey had to make up a word that rhymed with Wocket and then we would create whatever character she made up. She decided to go with a Locket.
Hailey picked out all the colors to make her Locket character and cut out all of the body parts.
She glued everything together.
We made a pocket which Hailey cut out.
Here is the finished Locket.

Bartholomew and the Oobleck
Mar
As we continue celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday this week we read Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss. And what fun would it be to read that book and not make some Oobleck? So, that’s what we did.
To make the Oobleck you will need:
1 cup of water
2 cups of corn starch
green food coloring
Mix it all together and then have fun:
Ooblek is a Non-Newtonian fluid. When you pour it, it’s like a liquid…
when you squeeze it, it oozes out of your hands…
when you push on it, it’s like a solid.
It is so fascinating to play with!
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish
Mar
Our book for today was One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss. We did a few activities to go along with this story.
This printable came from the Dr. Seuss Unit from What the Teacher Wants. This printable is called Pattern Fish. I stamped the first few fish in each row with a different pattern and had Hailey finish the pattern.
This was supposed to be a Goldfish Graph using different colored goldfish. But I couldn’t find any colored goldfish, so we used pom poms instead. We talked about most/least.
Hailey also did this counting sheet from ObSEUSSed. And after she finished putting the goldfish on the counting sheet, we practiced subtraction while she ate the fish.
Then Hailey decorated a fish using tissue paper. I found this fish printable here, but you could use anything you want.
Here is the finished fish.
