Our first week of 3K was a success! They've grown so much from our first year of Tot School to now.
We are using LOTW from Confessions of a Homeschooler and unless otherwise noted or linked that is where we got our activities. We learned about the letter "A", number 1 and circle. Here's some of the things we did:
Table Time:
- Placed cubes on and laced our "A" lacing cards.
- Apple Coloring Page
- Made an "A" collage with apple stickers
- Apple Cut & Paste
- Apple Pre-Writing
- Traced circles and colored red
- Big A, little a sort
- Apple cutting practice
- Practiced the number 1 with play-doh and our marker boards using the rhyme "A line straight down and then you're done. That's how you make the #1."
- Made circles with cups
Tray Time:
- Letter "A" do-a-dot
Tray Time - "Miss Priss" working on Alpha Pattern Blocks and "Sour Patch" working on Dot Pages. "Sunshine" right there with them :) - Alpha Pattern Blocks
One of her favorite trays. - Apple Magnetic Page
They both loved the magnet pages. We used these power magnets. - Apple Counting Practice- We just used counting chips on the apples.
- Apple Letter Match
Snacks:
applesauce, apples, made apple pies

We also did puzzles and a scavenger hunt around the room for letter As, circles and ones.
Field Trip:
The plan was to take apple pies to their great-grandparents. However, the apple pies weren't quite done in the middle so we left them and just went for a visit. When we got there my grandmother (their great-grandmother) was canning apples so not only did they get to see her canning them but of course they ate a few more too!
