Happy Dr. Seuss Week!

Last week we celebrated Dr. Seuss Week! I downloaded a few new apps for our preschool iPad and our favorite was Dr. Seuss Camera.

After reading a few favorite Dr. Seuss books, we had fun taking silly pictures of ourselves and emailing them to our parents. Using technology is a fun way to learn!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Preschool Large Motor Development

Preschool isn't just about learning ABCs and 123s. Its also about developing control over our big and small motor muscles. One of the funnest ways we exercised our running, twirling, dancing, and rolling muscles was by jumping in an enormous pile of leaves.

Best recess ever.

Preschool Letter Writing Practice

One of our favorite writing center activities is our white board letter writing. I got 26 popsicle sticks and wrote all of the alphabet letters on them. Then my preschool friends take turns choosing sticks out of a cup and writing the letter they chose on the white board.

This cute friend got on a roll and wrote all 26 letters!

Letter Parking Lot

A great way to review letter names and sounds is to create a parking lot. Draw parking spaces on a paper and write the letters you'd like your child to practice in the spaces. To play the game, provide your munchkin with a pile of hot wheels and call out a letter name. Your cutie "drives" the car to the correct letter parking spot and you call out the next one. When the parking lot is full, clear the cars off and try it again. 

Instead of calling out letter names you could play a variation of the game by calling out letter sounds for your child to park the cars on. Or for readers, you could make a sight word parking lot.

This game is so fun, the kids never wanted to leave the letter center!
