Preschool - Week 14 - Letter M

Well, I only meant to take a two-week break for Christmas, but we ended up with a three week hiatus. Oh well! I guess that's one of the perks of homeschooling, right? Flexible schedules. :-) So, this week was brought to you by the Letter M and the Number 13.

Books of the week:


Monkeys (Creature Comparisons)
Monkeys (Animals Animals)
No, Monkey! No!
Welcome to Mexico (Welcome to the World)

Here's what we covered:

Language Arts:
- Letter of the week craft:

- Handwriting worksheets (Letter Mm, Moon)
- M Sound worksheets (cut and paste, final sound M, Initial Sound M)

Math:
- Number 13 worksheet
- Number Tracing Game: C had to roll the giant die and then trace whatever number it landed on. Once she got one of each number the "game" was done. She loved this and we played until all the numbers were traced!


* Matching: I cut up a bunch of paint swatches and the girls had to sift through them all and match them up. Some of the hues are very similar, so not as easy as it may seem:

- Monkeys (nothing exciting this week - just read books about monkeys and talked about how many different kinds there are. Looking up all the areas where monkeys live on our globe)
