A is for Apple

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

Making our apple pies

Books:



Songs:
Days of the Week
Monkey and the Alligator by Dr. Jean

Technology:
Starfall ABC App-Letter "A"
Elmo ABC App-Letter "A"

 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!
