Week 1 - Preschool

I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to homeschool Ducky. This week was so much fun and the look on her face when she accomplished something she was struggling with was priceless! We plan on using Raising Rockstars Preschool as well as the Letter of the Week as our main curriculum(s) but we are going to begin that next week. This week we did a fun Chicka Chicka Boom Boom theme. What a hit! Here are some of moments I was able to capture this week:

Chicka Chicka BOOM BOOM!

Playing with her magnets one morning while I read the story. 

Lacing work

She wanted to illustrate the book herself

She used her marker to make a dot as I called out random letters. She LOVED this activity. 

Uppercase and lowercase matching. You can tell by the look on her face that she knows the j doesn't go with the E.

Daddy was helping her with cutting practice. This is something she had been struggling with. 

They worked for a long time and then... IT CLICKED! She cut!!!

I am not going to lie. I cried I was so proud and she was SO excited that she had to call Grammie on the phone right away and tell her. 

Monkey Man joined us a few times this week. 

Counting and gluing coconuts on trees. 

Board game fun. 

That's it! My baby girl is in PRESCHOOL!!!!

Letter of the week - B

The letter of the week was B. Here are some of the highlights from our week:

Monday we did general letter B things. Then Tuesday - Thursday we did theme days ( Bear, Ball, Bumblebee) with a wrap up on Friday.

We read Buzzy the bumblebee.

(Super cute book!!)

We also read Bee & Me

One of our crafts was to make a bumble bee.... here is it almost finished. Just needs the antenna!

I cut B's and things that start with B out of magazines and had her glue them onto a B template. I put the glue around the B and she stuck the item on. She had fun talking about what was in the picture and saying the words like "B .. B... Banana."

Ducky learned 3 new ASL words this week.

Bumblebee

Bear

Ball

Her favorite part of the whole week was dot painting. She LOVES her dot painting. I guess next week we will have to do a lot more of it.
