Letter F was fun. There's a lot that can be done with food, actions and places to visit. I'm not saying we went to a farm or rode a firetruck. We didn't make a fan and he didn't eat frosting out the can but, we could have.
Letter writing is a definite daily and weekly thing. There is no fine-tuning. I'm happy when it resembles the letter. Working in between lines is a challenge but he concentrates very hard.
F is for face. He cut out the parts, glue and applied them to the appropriate spots.
F is also for firemen! Fire hats, hoses
and fire hydrants. We went outside to color ours more accurately.
Our first snack was goldfish. I could have picked up some Swedish fish but, Halloween was the other day and we don't need more candy.
F is for fireworks. This worksheet is a favorite for him. He likes to dab the spots with the bingo dabbers.
I found this fish counting/match cards. If you can't figure out the numbers then you have to count and figure it out.
This is an old spiral dry erase workbook with various activities to do.
I would have liked to take him fishing but, I let him play the fishing game instead and sometimes games are more fun then waiting patiently to catch a fish.
Lastly, F is for flying. Bats are for Halloween so this was a perfect craft for the week. Here is the original post and instructions for this fun craft!
Thank you for following along in our school. I hope you walk away with a little inspiration and motivation to teach and play with your kids!
I used to teach preschool and I miss it so much! It is exciting to see the kids'faces when they make connections in learning!

ReplyDeleteI gather you homeschool? How fun! My kids learned this sort of thing in our church preschool, and I was always super-impressed w/the curriculum there, but I have to say that your ideas have taken it several steps beyond anything they ever did there!
ReplyDeleteMy kids have never gone to preschool and even with my son I wondered how much he would get from it. Maybe it depends on the school but I think if we are staying home together he should be learning something.

ReplyDeleteWe are actually on letter k this week but I have gotten behind on my posts. Swedish fish are red gummy fish. Instead of gummy bears they are fish. I don't know why they are called swedish.

ReplyDeleteThank you. I was going to do multiple letter's in one week but I don't know how much would get lost.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great post! Reminds me of being home schooled as a kid.
ReplyDeleteThe fire hydrants is hilarious. Hopefully she wasn't confused. That must be the prettiest I've ever seen one painted though.
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable! I remember working in a daycare and trying to come up with fun and creative ways to teach the children their alphabets.
ReplyDeleteAw I love that this week is F because you know what starts with F? FOOD Haha! I liked that you taught him about faces.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love all of this and need to do it with my 3 year old!
ReplyDeleteWow! I was really looking for something like this. I am teaching my girl letters and I like your approach towards teaching preschooler. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Even though I teach older kids, I have many ELL students who struggle with sounding words. Hands-on activities like this really work with them!
ReplyDeleteWhat great activities ! Going one letter at a times seems to be a great step
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to teach the alphabet. It makes learning more fun for the kids!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your cute teaching ideas! It's how I also taught my littles when they were little ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are some really great ways to teach letter writing to kids. I dont have kids at the moment but I think I can share this with friends who do have.
ReplyDeleteLetter F is certainly my favourite as the name of my niece is Fiona. Love these teaching ideas! What a pity my Fiona just turn to 18 this week, so she is not in this kind of fun learning process any more :D
ReplyDeleteI wish there had been more creative ways to learn the alphabet and words when I was a young child in school. Glad to see the progress that has been made since then. Reading and vocabulary are important life skills that cannot be encouraged enough.
