Learning Activity Jar for Preschool and Kindergarten

February 1, 2012 by Ami 22 Comments

I'm trying. Trying to simplify things around here.  You already read about my ridiculously simple lunch idea (that I heart so much). Here is another ridiculously simple idea. For school. For Simon. I printed out math ideas (red), writing-fine motor ideas (yellow), and learning to read ideas (green).  I cut them up and stuffed them […]

December 19, 2011 by Ami 8 Comments

We had a rich learning experience last week with The Legend of the Candy Cane unit study from Homeschool Share.  Elijah's overlapping candy cane art ~  Both boys helped bake these Candy Cane Snowballs (sweet and yum). Here are some pages from Elijah's notebook. Elijah learned about alliteration, synonyms, legends, idioms, and he searched a […]

December 13, 2011 by Ami 3 Comments

A few weeks ago Simon's co-op class learned all about owls. It started with a reading of Owl Moon by Jane Yolen. Salamonie Interperative Services sent us a special guest. She stunned the kids with a stuffed owl– a great horned owl. Our special guest also had a real owl. A REAL OWL. The kids […]

November 16, 2011 by Ami 8 Comments

I {heart} this tale– The Story of Ferdinand.  We started the week at co-op. I tried to give the kids a simple introduction to Spain. We talked about kings and queens and made crowns; we practiced bowing and curtsying {which was great fun!}. We learned Spanish color words and made little books. We also had […]

Color Sudoku: a Preschool & Kindergarten Math Game

November 11, 2011 by Ami 6 Comments

Here is a fun logic-mathy activity for your preschool or kindergarten student. Elijah has Colorku, and I was thinking it would be fun to have something similar (but simpler) for Simon. I found some printable things online, but I didn't want to use a bucket of colored ink. So, the idea for Paint Chip Sudoku […]

deep blue sea school

November 8, 2011 by Ami 5 Comments

Simon implored me to create an ocean-themed Kindergarten Kit because he wanted to learn about creatures in the deep. The clip-art in the kit is mostly cute fish, but we read plenty of books about lantern fish, angler fish, and other horrifying creepiness lurking through the abyss! Sometimes the printing and cutting and laminating is […]

We’re Going on a Word Hunt Sight Word Activity

November 7, 2011 by Ami 13 Comments

Simon loves to look for things; it’s fun for him. I like to capitalize on fun, so I created a few word hunts to help him learn some sight words (and to aid in practicing tally marks).  Here’s what I did for this activity: 1. I wrote all the words on sticky notes and stuck […]

November 4, 2011 by Ami 37 Comments
