I have been so bad about blogging (and taking pictures) about Mikayla’s preschool time lately, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been doing some really fun activities.  We have plugged along with our letters and numbers and have worked our way up to the letter L and number 12.  Here are just a few of the activities we have done lately.<\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

She learned about the parts of an insect and put a felt one together.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

Beginning sound match where she matched the bees to their hives (both pictures started with the same sound).<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

Letter I Iguana!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

Drawing and writing about ice cream in her journal.  We try to do something each day in her journal as our last activity.  This is how she knows school time is coming to a close.  <\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

She played number Bingo.  This really helped with her number recognition that she is currently struggling with.  Also please note baby on the table.  This baby has become her go to one and she takes it every where with us!  This is the first time in her four short years that she has latched onto something so strongly.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

Henny Penny’s Rhyme Time Game (courtesy of Mailbox magazine).  She chooses two pictures that rhyme and puts the on Henny’s nest.  She absolutely adores this game and would play it everyday!  <\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

Butterfly symmetry.  She is really concentrating here.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

For this game I laid out some magnetic letters on the floor.  I would call out a letter or sound and she would pretend to be a bee and fly them back to the hive.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

Jigsaw J’s<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Easter,<\/p>\n

We have also been spending a lot of time in her dry erase books.  She has accumulated several now and enjoys working hard in them.<\/em><\/p>\n

Like I said, I haven’t been very good about taking pictures or blogging about her school time recently and don’t make any promises to get better in the future!!  I am however, doing a much better job of documenting for myself what we do and what has worked and not worked for in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
