October Week 4

Alphabet: letter Hh

Math: shapes (rectangle and triangle)

Theme: water transportation (boats)

Bible: creation day 6

Alphabet:

Letter of the week box: hanger, helicopter, heart, horse, hammer, hay, hard hat, hands, and flash cards.

Give name of the object as your child takes it out of the box. Emphasize the beginning sound. Ex: "That is a hammer. /h/ /h/ /h/ hammer. Hammer starts with H" (point to the letter h on the flash card).

Letter Hh craft: H is for hearts

Have child trace finger over letter. Then add dots of glue for them to add paper hearts on the letter H.

Letter H activity: sensory tub

What's inside: hay, toy hammer, bolts, foam blocks (covered in craft paper: house), holes made in the foam blocks, and toy hand noise-makers.

I bought foam blocks and circles at the dollar store. With a knife, I cut the foam into small pieces. I wrapped the foam pieces with craft paper. Then I drew doors, windows and a roof on the blocks.

I pre-made holes on the foam and highlighted the holes with a black sharpie.

1. I originally bought bolts for E to use to build the homes, but the bolts were not long enough. So, I used screws we already had to build the homes. I had E find the hole, I placed the screws in the hole and E hammered them in.

2. Then I made some foam blocks with holes for him to use the bolts with.

3. The bolts are not sharp, and after seeing how I did it (with the screws) he knew exactly what to do. He grabbed a bolt and placed it in a hole and hammered away! He loved it!

4. I also showed him how to hold the foam block while hammering. This kept the block from moving around.

5. After all the bolts were used up and all the hammering was done, E enjoyed throwing the hay in the air! :)

*Here is an overview of the Alphabet Sensory Tubs we've done so far:

Theme:

Theme craft: Shapley Sailboat

We reviewed rectangles and triangles to make the sailboat. First E used finger paint to to paint the water. Once the paint dried we glued the shapes on.

As we worked on the shapely sailboat we talked about where do sailboats sail? On road, sky or water?

Theme activity: sensory tub

I grabbed one large boat and one small boat and placed them in E's sensory tub. On one side of the tub I filled with clean water and on the other side I filled with dirty water (chia seeds and blue food coloring was added to water).

As E played we discussed all sorts of subjects.

We talked about the boats: which boat is the small/big one? How many boats are there? Where do boats go? On the road? In the sky? Or in the water?

Then we talked about the water: what does this water (dirty) feel like? Which water is clean/dirty?

These are books we read, throughout the month, while learning about transportation.

Bible:

Memory Verse of the Month: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth." Genesis 1:1

Memory Verse Song: "God is Creator" by Seeds Family Worship

We are continuing to talk about that God is Creator. This week we focused on the sixth day of creation. On day 6 of creation God said, ‘Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds... Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness..." (Genesis 1:24, 26 NIVUK)

As E glued the man and women on the paper, we talked about how God made people. He made boys and he made girls. He made you and he made me.

Then we talked about that God made all the animals in the world. As E placed an animal sticker on the paper, I would ask him what animal that was. He would respond, and I would tell him that God made that animal. As he was finishing I asked him these type of questions: Who made people? Who made all the animals? Who made you? Who made me?

What a blessed week!

The first week in November we will learn about community helpers transportation.

Thanks for your support and stopping by! Hope these ideas inspire you!

Blessings,

Erica

September Week 1

Lesson plans

Alphabet: Aa

Numbers: 1-5

Theme: Parts of the Body

Bible: Genesis 1:1, God is Creator

Gross Motor: Hopping

Fine Motor: Beading

Alphabet:

As E would take an item out of the box I would give the name of the object while I emphasized the beginning sound. Ex: "That's an apple. /a/ /a/ /a/ apple." We talked about each object and that they start with Aa.

For the tracing worksheet I pointed at Aa, I gave name and sound. I traced one of the letter Aa for him to see how it's done. We traced the same one together and he traced the last one on his own. He then colored the apple on the coloring worksheet.

Letter Aa snack: apple. He ate the whole thing, core and seeds lol!

Numbers:

Fun and easy way to teach numbers and number value. In addition, you can also incorporate color recognition and fine motor development. This was a

Pinterest inspired activity!

Theme:

This activity took a lot of prep time, but it was worth it! E did a great job matching all the body parts. This worksheet will be available for free download on Teachers Pay Teachers shop! Still working on getting the shop up and running. Check for it next week :)

Books we read before doing the My Body activity:

Songs we sang: "Head and Shoulders" and "God Made Me"

Bible:

Scripture: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

Song: "God is Creator", by Seeds Family Worship.

{I love Seeds Family worship! They take scripture verses and put them in a fun catchy tune for children to sing and memorize God's Word! Love it!}

I read page one of My First Bible. E helped me put the visual together as we heard and sang along to "God is Creator" song.

Gross Motor:

Song: "Hop Skip Kip," by Have Fun Teaching

This song was a hit with E! He loved the beats! It made him hop! We played the song all week. He enjoyed hopping and skipping along! I even got a sweat on, hopping along with him ;)

Thank you for your support and stopping by! Hope these activities inspire you!

Blessings,

Erica
