Letter U

Preschool Today-The Letter U was the focus

Some games

The kids are bored of counting so I try to find unique ways to count.  Today it was throwing beans in an umbrella and counting them out loud.



The Letter U horse shoes-with cardboard rather than the real deal-saves on getting hurt.



Activities

Throw some Shaving Cream and food coloring in a bag.  Mix it together and have the kiddies create letters, numbers, shapes.  Obviously today we focused on the letter U.

Finding the Letter U



Making A rainstorm with our hands.  Wind: Sliding your hands back and forth against one another.
Light Rain: Tapping two fingers against your other palm.  Harder Rain: Slapping Your hands against your legs.  A Storm:  Slapping Your Hands against your thighs, while stomping your feet.

Tracing/Coloring

I just google Letter U images for tracing and coloring.  It's wonderful the amount of free resources there are.




Crafts

Obvioulsy an umbrella craft would have been perfect to do-but I was too busy with the other stuff-so next time.

My Love Story Part 1

To tell my love story, I have to start from the beginning, which involves a mini love story before the love story-a chance for you to see the real confused and pushy jerk within me. We all have doubts and confusion about what is the right thing to do, what we really truly want in life, just most of you aren't crazy ridiculous like me. No matter,I will still share the story, because it is the story of me...and how I eventually met and married the love of my forever, Danny. Enjoy! It is a little bit all over the place and yeah I don't edit-no time for that. And feel free to judge.::::: "I'm not supposed to be here!" The words rattled into my head. Here I was standing in the hallway of a church building awaiting for the young single adult festivities to officially begin. Men and women bustled about, introducing themselves, laughing, playing games, while I stood there frozen in place, my heart beating with anxiety. After all, I didn't belong here, I ...

Meal Time Sentences

Image
Our lovely flash cards that we DO use!!                        I am not a very good teacher.   I should be going over letters and numbers every single day with Ellyanna, but I’m not.   I should be teaching her how to trace and write them out, but of course I’m not.   I save it all for preschool, which is only two days a week.   I’m far from perfect.   But I am taking little steps.   I do something small every day, something I like to call meal time sentences.               What are meal time sentences?   Let me back track here.   A couple of years ago we bought “Your Baby Can Read” because I just had to have it and insisted that our daughters would be becomes real life geniuses in result.   Of course being the mom that I am, I was gung ho for the first couple of weeks and...
