Preschool Weekly Wrap Up- Letter H

23
Feb

Our focus letter this week was the letter H.  Since it was just before Thanksgiving we learned all about harvest time.

Our Crafts N Things

Hunter did a cutting and sorting paper from Homeschool Creations.

 Harper joins us every time she sees an art project being done.  We stamped Legos into paint and used them to create a fun looking design.

Another activity we did was to cut open a gourd to see what was inside.  Then we used them as stamps.

Since it was Thanksgiving time we made this cute craft of the Mayflower.

We actually also did several letter H activities, but apparently I never took any pictures of them.  Oops!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Preschool in Review

So, what has Hunter been up to the last couple of months?  He still says that school is boring and he doesn’t want to do any school.  While Hailey does school I usually set up some learning type activities and manipulatives for him to use to keep him busy.  He thinks he’s just playing, but I know he’s learning 🙂  Here is a little sample of some of the things he has been doing:  (It’s funny to see him using a pacifier in some of the pictures since he finally gave it up back in the beginning of December.  I was beginning to think he’d have it forever.)

Hunter has a great time building with these.

ps2

He made lots of different towers.

Mickey and Minnie got to check out his building.

Using pegs to work on the letters in his name.

We made some cute turkeys back at Thanksgiving time and Hunter actually decided he would participate in a craft.

ps6

Everyone in the family had a turkey.  On the front is a little pocket.  We put little notes inside the pocket to say why we were thankful for each other.

Another Thanksgiving activity that Hailey did was to disguise a turkey as a pigeon.  Hunter wanted to make one too.

Hunter absolutely loves this book!  He was a little sad the first time we read it when I told him there weren’t any pictures in it.  But very soon he was laughing and really enjoying the book.

ps8

He worked on a train puzzle.

ps12

We set up a Christmas tree in our classroom.  (It was pajama day :-))

ps13

Hunter really enjoys the gears.

ps14

So, even though Hunter isn’t doing any “school” these days, he’s been keeping pretty busy 🙂

Third Grade in Review

So, now that the holidays are all over I am finally getting around to finishing up posting about what we did at Thanksgiving time.  I am really going to work on posting things this year when they are actually helpful 🙂  But maybe someone can use this idea for next year.

After we learned about what life was like for the pilgrims, we learned what it was like to be a Wampanoag Indian.

Our Crafts N Things Third Grade

I made this little wetu- the type of house the Wampanoag lived in.

Our Crafts N Things Third Grade

Then we read If you Lived at the Time of Squanto and wrote down information that we thought was interesting and added it to our wetu.

Our Crafts N Things Third Grade

Hailey made a book of facts about the Wamanoag using her 5 favorite things she had learned.

Our Crafts N Things Third Grade

She wrote what she had learned and drew an illustration to go with it.

Hailey also made this cute turkey.  Then I had her write a paragraph about why she thought a turkey would or would not make a good pet.

From now on, I’m going to post things when we actually do them.  Promise this time 🙂
