Preschool Corner: Letter C

So, I figured it might be a little better if I am more specific with my Preschool Corner posts. First, it may make things a bit easier for you to follow along. But, really, it would actually benefit me...since I will be going through preschool again with two more little ones. This way, I will kind of have an online reference to use in the future. With all that said, this past week, we focused on the letter C. Check out some of the things we did:

We counted using some little cards I made a few years ago. Not sure where I printed them from, but on the back of each number card, I drew the corresponding letters in dots for the kids to trace (I laminated them with contact paper so that we could use them repeatedly.) I only put one number on the back of each card, but DC wanted to do a few extra!

We used our cuisenaire rods and our Cuisenaire Alphabet Book to build a clown, candle, and cup. (The rods and the book came with the My Father's World Kindergarten curriculum that we use for my daughter.

Then, the had fun building with the rods and knocking them down. It is something about boys and lovin to know stuff over!

They used their Q-Tip counting trays, but with corn kernels rather than Q-tips.


They glued popcorn to the letter C. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that our Bible lesson for the week was about Jesus being a servant and washing the disciples feet. So, we traced our feet on foam, cut them out and washed them. Now, they make a fun bath toy that sticks to the wall. Their Bible verse for the week was Psalm 100:2,"Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before Him with joyful songs." You can see KJ's feet on the table.


We milked a cow...well, not a real one. It was a latex glove filled with warm water. (I used a straight pin to poke holes in the "teats" so that the "milk" would come out.) They had so much fun! I do recommend that if you try this, you do it outside. There was quite a bit of water all over the place!


We also made butter using whipping cream. We had to shake the container for 20 minutes straight. We all took turns, even the babies!!!


Finally, we made caterpillars using Ritz crackers, raisins, and peanut butter.


KJ wanted to use jelly on hers!

Well, those were some of the highlights from our week with the letter C!!!
