Preschool Corner / Raising Rock Stars – C is for Caterpillar

preschool corner

Kahlen is 4 years, 3 months

Okay, new plan. I’m starting this post right now, when we haven’t even done the unit yet. Here’s my plan sheet for the week, we’ll be starting this one on April 4th, so I have it scheduled to post on April 8th, at the end of the week. I’m hoping maybe it will keep me motivated to fill in an otherwise empty post!

RRSP Highlights

“Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.” ~ Colossians 3:20

We memorized this verse a year ago with the Hubbard’s Cupboard 2’s curriculum. She had a helpful song to go with it which you can go get here.

2011-04-04 C Day 1 (2) 2011-04-04 C Day 1 (3)Cutting and taping her long verse

 2011-04-06 C Day 2 (2)Writing our word for the week, “in”

 2011-04-06 C Day 2 (3)“Getting ready for C” Notice she needed the help of the counting bears today :)

2011-04-06 C Day 2 (4) 2011-04-07 C day 3 (2)Vocabulary words in their card holder after she cut them all out.

 2011-04-08 C day 4 (7)Practicing writing C’s. You can’t really tell in the picture,  but she decided to hook them all together, which was fine with me as long as she didn’t dawdle (She’s a *HUGE* dawdler!)

Letter of the week highlights C is for Caterpillar, of course. Click on the image above to be taken to Confessions of a Homeschooler, where I got all these printables.

2011-04-06 C Day 2 (1)Playing the caterpillar game 2011-04-06 C Day 2 (5)Caterpillar counting numbers. This one she used pompoms for.

 2011-04-07 C day 3 (5) 2011-04-07 C day 3 (6)Caterpillar puzzle. I took my cutting system from Creative Memories and cut a bunch of different shapes out this time to mix it up a bit.

 2011-04-08 C day 4 (8)Size sorting.

 2011-04-08 C day 4 (9) 2011-04-08 C day 4 (10)Bottlecap letter matching. Of course, caterpillar has several duplicate letters, so we had to use some lowercase letters too. Surprisingly, she was okay with that.

Both kids enjoyed making pompom caterpillars, although Nate was sure it was a tongue depressor that must go in his mouth. He was fine once I put glue on it and showed him the pompoms.2011-04-04 C Day 1 (5)
