Letter of the Week { Mm }

I must say, all these worksheets sure do take a while to put together, but I am managing to presently stay the course.

I can't tell you how many times I have started lengthy projects only never to finish them.

The main pack:

Part Two:

Part Three:

Yep, so that's it again for another week.

Keep smiling, even when you don't want to.  It's much easier than having to try and explain the hard stuff to people who don't really want to know.

{ Letter m }

This week I decided to do a letter that Charlotte was already pretty familiar with,
the letter { m }.

Charlotte loved this page.  It was easy, and fun for her.

See the little girl mermaid?  Yep, that's Charlotte, if you ask her!

This turned out to be a little harder than we thought

{ fine motor grasping skills need to be developed }.

A new activity; roll the die and trace the letter that corresponds to the die.  When all the upper OR lower case letters are done, the game is over - regardless of the remaining other case.

Just practice pages.

I LOVED that I just gave this following worksheet to her WHOLE and she went off and this was the result:  completed without assistance.  Yay~!!

A few more practice pages.

A little flip book.

Inside:  paste the correct picture and write the letter { m }.

What you can't see is that I wrote a { m } in silver pencil for her to trace.  :o)

That's how she managed to get those m's looking so good.

It's all about helping them have "successful" learning.

This weeks worksheets, just click each one to download.

This week I've also included a page for "stamping" the letter { m } too.

And yep, you won't believe it, but I managed to make 6 pages for cut and paste this week.

Enjoy!!

Thanks for visiting.

Preschool { Week 4 }

Wow, now this is one of those weeks in History for Charlotte.

I've got a number of draws filled with random children's books that I just keep around for the girls for fun.  She found this particular book to be very interesting and came running to show me something extremely excited.

What was so important?  Yep, you see that little boy sitting on the toilet?  Yep!  He had caught her eye.  It inspired her so much that she had to go and try it out for herself.

And you know what?  She really did!

So her princess music making potty became a foot stool and the potty ring took it's place in the palace loo instead.

In the academic department this week:

Cut & Paste alphabet sorting for the letters /a/ and /m/.

Charlotte tried a new activity.

Ummm, well, yeah.....  more mess at this point I think.

Thanks for visiting.

Friday Hannah Update

 

Wow, are you in for a treat today.  Lots of show and tell.

Only 1 more week of formal sit down school and we, my friends will be on our gigantic school holidays.

Now having said that, I do have to confess that I totally imagine us still doing some "schooly" things during those 8 glorious weeks.  I tell you this so that you know I'll still be blogging and doing show and tell.  :o)   ( In particular I'll be doing a whole stack of posts about the curriculum we'll be using next year. )  Back to the holiday part:  English, Maths, and History will be taking a serious break.  I imagine crafts will still be on the table, and nature study may get a chance to shine.  :o)

 

This week little Miss Hannah jumped another level.  We began this book:

 

 

There is something really wonderful hearing a child "sound" out their words - all by themselves - and getting it right.

 

 

She not only sounded out these words but could also sound out and read, "see me eat.  see me read".  Pretty impressive.

 

 

We also added some new flash cards to our pocket chart, and revised last weeks words.

 

 

And we tried this activity again, keeping last weeks words and adding this weeks words.

 

 

 

This week we added ANOTHER 6 phonograms as well. 

 

 

We also pulled out a new resource that I got FREE on TpT.  Pumpkin playdough mats for counting.  We didn't use playdough though since I already had some laminated pumpkins that I made from my sizzix.  It's not free at the moment but hay, what's 50cents?  Just click Hannah in the photo to check out where I got them from.

 

 

 

Another new activity we tried this week was Read and Cover.  I just made up this little grid with her words and punched out a few scallop circles.

 

As she reads each word she covers it up.  Simple and quick but effective for revision and practice.

 

 

And if you don't mind a HEAP of mess you can always try crafts like this:

 

 

Hannah also did some more practice with writing.  These particular pages are a personal spin off from my usual book on TpT.  So they are a little different where the letters in the boxes are.

 

 



 

 

And I also bought a really cool little book for some maths practice.    Basically the child matches up the numbers with the math fact and it turns into a picture. To go and check them out on my friends blog just click the photo. 

 

 

 

Well, I think I'll stop here because well, I think this is probably enough show and tell for Hannah this week and I haven't even got to Chloe, Phebe, or Charlotte.

 

And this week I'm joining up with:

 

 

and

 

 

 

I hope you will join us.
