Letter V-Volcano & Vase

Another week of fun letter activities.

 We made a VOLCANO out of an upside down letter V.  The lava was made out of red and yellow tissue paper.

We made VASES for our mom's.  I used construction paper folded in half length wise, pipe cleaners, paper flowers taped on.  The kids taped the flowers on to the pipe cleaners, then I helped them tape the pipe cleaners on to the big paper.  Then I rolled up the paper into a tube and taped the outer edge--then we had a fun VASE.

Letter T-Treasure Hunt

We get to do preschool twice a week this month.  First we focused on Trains.  This time we did a TREASURE HUNT.

Our TREASURE map.  We were on the hunt for letter T's

 We found TIGERS, and made stripes on our tiger masks

 We found another T in a TENT and read a book about TURTLES

Then we went outside to look at TREES.  We came inside and used q-tips to paint leaves on our file folder Tree.

Letter T-Trains

During the month of February I am in charge of my little guys preschool.  We've been participating in a co-op with 5 other mom's.  Our first letter this month was T.  We had a fun time learning about all different things that start with the letter T.

 1st up we played Mr. Potato head while waiting for everyone to come.

 Then I pulled out a train whistle and my conductors hat and we started going on a train ride.  I had all the kids line up behind me and we chugged around the house to different railroad crossings and learned about all the T things.  First up was TRAVEL.  I had a globe and several books about things found around the world.

 Then we were off to learn about TIERS and TRIANGLES

 Then we measured how TALL we were and compared

 The next stop was all about TRACING.

We traced small toys and our hands.  While they traced away I put the snack together.  They were all excited when they got to eat apples, cheese, pepperoni & fruit snacks with TOOTHPICKS

Once snacks were done I surprised them all with our bin of TRAINS. 

I pulled one child away at a time to work on our T TRAIN TRACK.

Whew!  It was so fun, I think they all had a fun time learning the letter T.
