Preschool: Week 3

We took last week off to go to Disneyland, but hopefully this week we'll be able to get back into our routine!  Before our trip, we learned about the letter "C"!  Here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago.

Playing Colorama with Daddy!

Things that begin with "C": Talking with the cousins on the computer, corn, cup, comb, car, cake, candle, camera, card, and clippy (pardon my naked child).

We made clouds with cotton balls!

A special snack of crackers with cream cheese.

We went on a walk to look for things that start with "C' and also for things that are squares, since we were learning about squares.  We found a curb and some crunchy leaves!

Of course, we had to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

And then we made our own caterpillar paper chain!  (Sorry for the lack of pants.  One of these days my daughter will be fully clothed.)  :)

Hanging out with her cousin in the car!

At the county fair!

Made paper cupcakes!

Since it was "C" week and we were talking about caterpillars, we also talked about how they make cocoons and turn into butterflies, so we made our own butterflies!  Phase 1: color a coffee filter with washable markers.

Phase 2: Spray with a spray bottle 2-3 times.

Phase 3: Wrap pipe cleaner around the center and, voila!  You've got butterflies!

We also learned about Adam and Eve and had some projects correlating to that, but I don't have pictures.  Sorry!

Preschool: Week 2

Last week we embarked on our second week of preschool!  It was a very special week as we learned about the letter "B" and it just happened to be Hannah's Birthday that week!  Here's a sampling of some of our projects this week:

We learned that on day 3 of creation, God separated the land from the water, so we made the world with it's land and water.  Take a coffee filter, color green for land and blue for water.  Lightly spray it with a spray bottle; let dry.  The colors will run together and you'll be left with a world!  Sorry I don't have a picture of the finished product, but you can see what it's supposed to look like here: http://www.dltk-kids.com/crafts/earth/mcoffeefilter.htm

We made a Bird puppet!

We had a birthday celebration with lots of balloons!

"B" objects from around the house: bag, bun, ball, baby, balloon, book, backpack, box, bear, bow, blanky, bunny, Bob the Builder, brush...

Preschool!

This year I've decided I would try to do homeschool preschool!  It's been fun, and Hannah and I are both learning a lot through this endeavor.  Hannah is learning how to have a little bit more of a structured day (doing what activities Mommy says when Mommy says).  She is loving all the activities and projects!  I am learning lots of patience!  :) 

I decided I would try to blog some of our activities each week, mainly for my own records.  You can come along for the ride, too, if you'd like!  We're on our third week, so I'm a little behind, but I figure better late than never!

Week 1

We learned about the letter A!  She did a pretty good job tracing them!

Hannah was practicing her little a's, then decided she'd turn it into a person.

Big A!

Special A snack: Apples!

Apron starts with A!

Working on her fine motor skills!

*Almost* straight lines!  Not bad for a 3-year-old, I guess!

Learning about creation and how God created light.  The Oreo half on the left is what there was before God created light and the Oreo on the right is after God created light (or maybe it's just an excuse to eat Oreos).  :)

We didn't do a whole lot the first week, because we were waiting for a birthday present from Bapa and Mama which contained most of her preschool supplies, but we had fun nonetheless!
