Paint Chip Phonics
I found a great idea on The Snail’s Tail. She really does a good job of explaining it on her site, but I’ll try to do it here too. The idea is to practice the consonants, blends, digraphs and common word families. I have to admit I was a tad…
Final Letter C Day
We did our Very Hungry Caterpillar Game and book today. It was a huge hit. As I read the story she laced her pieces on. My 2nd grader filled out the graph just for fun and helped her sister find the correct pieces. You can download the Hungry Caterpillar lacing…
Color Mixing and Math Lesson
We did a color mixing project today. I got the idea from The Pioneer Woman’s homeschooling blog. I provided them with Blue, Red and Yellow water, and then gave them ‘recipe’ cards to work from. Just because I don’t trust my kids with that large a quantity of water, I…
Prek Letter B
Hi everyone! Welcome to the Letter B! Naturally after finishing with caterpillars last week, butterflies just seemed the right way to go. I did go a little overboard with this, so brace yourself! Letter B Memory Verse: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Acts 16:31…

Letter C work in action
Day 3 of our Letter C submersion class and its going well. I asked her today and she has no clue what letter she’s working on…seriously? We even sing the song everyday “The C says “Ka” the C says “Ka” every letter makes a sound the C says “Ka”! I’m…
Pom-pom Caterpillar Craft
To go along with our Letter C stuff, we made pom-pom caterpillars today. I used a large popsicle stick as the base, then just glued pom-poms to it, added eyes, antennae and don’t forget the flare! And voila:
Solar System Model and Colored Pencil Blending
We did an art lesson from I Can Do All Things today on colored pencil blending. I have to say this was one of the lessons that seemed like a good idea, but then didn’t go so well. Maybe it is the brand of our colored pencils, but they didn’t…
Kindergarten Fun boxes
The little dude was happy to find a “Build a race car” card in his box. It took some coaxing, as he was like ‘where’s the directions?’ and I tried to explain that there weren’t any directions, and he had to use his brain to be creative and come up…
