Sensorial
Sound/No sound sort
Sound matching
Play dough (green for Spring with animal cutters)
Practical Life
Using a medicine dropper to transfer from one jar to another.
Using the eyedropper to transfer from the jar to the bath math suction cups.
Squeezing (pretend) water from a ketchup container into all of Mommy's plastic containers from the drawer.
(I discovered her like this one morning.)
I moved her to the table and gave her real water to squeeze. She would have kept going all day I think!
I found a small pitcher and some smaller glasses. She has been pouring herself her own drinks without supervision and doing very well.
Language Development
We've been doing rhyme sorts and sequencing cards, telling stories, reading books and doing the sound sorts.
We played this game once this week. I covered the drawing on the cards and had her tell me each sound, then I repeated the sounds for her and she had to "guess" what the picture was. She did very well, until we got to the /r/ /a/ /t/. She told me each sound, I repeated them and when I asked what the picture was, she replied, "mouse!" Hehe.
After reading this post on What DID we do all Day, I have been trying to play more I Spy games with her.
Numbers/Math
Lots of counting and tracing of sandpaper numbers, but she hasn't been choosing activities in this department much this past week and a half.
Visit Homeschool Creations to see other Preschool activities.
(I usually link up at One Hook Wonder too, but she's on break this week).
So...... How did you make some of the bells not make sound?
ReplyDeleteAnd I still love the idea of the eye dropper and the suction cups from the bath tub thingy.
looks like a fantastic week!
ReplyDeleteYou always have the greatest activities! I'm particularly loving the sound sort activities. I bet my guy would LOVE that. (And I'm also curious about how you got the no-sound bells....did you pry them open to remove the ball inside?)
ReplyDeleteMy son also loves anything with a water dropper, and I completely forgot about the ketchup/mustard squirters I bought! Definitely getting those out this week!!
You do so many amazing activities with your daughter. I love the sowing from the last post. What a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter also said mouse for rat the first time!
You were missed :) Great activities as always - I will try the squeezing one once the weather allows to do it outside.
ReplyDeleteTo make the no-sound bells :I pried the bells open with a kitchen knife - it wasn't difficult at all - and removed the little ball inside.
