Here is Month 4 of Preschool. I think Tanner and I both really enjoyed this month. Some of our favorites were monsters, M&M's and ninjas. Here are the lesson outlines.
Letter M week: M is for M&M's. Wow- Tanner loved this lesson, but mostly because he got to eat a ton of m&m's. We talked about the letter "M" and made the "mmmm" sound. We traced the letter "M". Then we divided M&M's into groups by size. Then we graphed them by color. Then we did m&m painting (you just put m&m's in a cup and add water, it changes the water the color of the m&m's- then you paint with them.) Tanner loved that. Then we made an m&m Christmas tree and made m&m Christmas lights for our craft.
M is for Monsters. Tanner really loved this lesson because we love MONSTERS in this house!!!! It was fun. We did some tracing of the letter "M" and we did color by number worksheets. We did a shadow monster matching game and some clothespin number cards. Then we did a count and color worksheet. We read "Tickle Monster", "Leonardo the Terrible Monster" and "Birthday Monster" and then we made these darling monster magnets.
M is for Moose. Well M is for Moose and Muffins. Our preschool lesson today was based on the book "If You Give a Moose a Muffin". It was so fun. We started by tracing the letter "M". Then we learned some Moose facts. Then we made Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, while they baked we finished our lesson. We did a Moose and Muffin maze. We graphed different kinds of muffins. Then we did moose/muffin clothespin cards. Then we made hand print antlers and turned Tanner into a moose. After that our muffins were done and we devoured them.
Letter "N" Week: N is for Ninja. We made more "Na" sounds and traced the letter "N" some more. We did a letter "N" hunt. We did a ninja coloring sheet and we learned some ninja facts. Then we made ninja headbands and ninja juice boxes. Then we met a real-life ninja...(or my brother David- its the same thing.)
N is for Noodles. We talked more about the letter "N". Made the "na" sound and traced the letter "N". Then we sorted noodles by color and size. We graphed noodles according to color. Then we made a noodle necklace and and had a little sensory fun with dyed spaghetti noodles. Bonus- it also double as a snack, since my kids LOVE noodles!
N is for Nuts. We talked about the letter "N". We traced the letter "N". We did a letter "N" hunt. We sorted nuts into piles according to their size. and then according to the kind of nut. We did a nut counting worksheet. Then we made this walnut boat.
Letter "O" Week: O is for Octopus. We learned about octopus. Tanner really loved moving his arms like an octopus. We did a coloring page. We sorted the different octopus according to their size. then we did a cutting practice page. We traced the letter "O" and then we did some clothespin cards. Then for our craft we made this octopus from yarn. Tanner loves it.
O is for Owl. We learned all about Owls. (Tanner is very good at making owl sounds). We did an owl coloring sheet. We traced the letter "O". We sang "Little Owl" to the tune of Jingle Bells. We did he "5 Little Owl" finger play. We did a matching shape/owl game. Then we did a dot-to-dot owl picture and at the end we made an owl cupcake.
O is for "Oh, Christmas Tree". I know it's a stretch, but we had to incorporate Christmas into our preschool lesson somehow. We traced the letter "O". We learned about the Christmas tree. We decorated a worksheet using candy ornaments. Then we did a Christmas tree matching game. Then we learned the song "O, Christmas tree." For our craft we made this card stock Christmas tree with push pins ornaments
We decided to take off next week for Christmas, but come the new year we will be back at it again. Happy Holidays!
