Preschool - Week 21 - Letter T

Once more, things got busy around here and I decided to spend two weeks covering letter T. Hopefully this weekend I'll get Letter U figured out so we can get back on track!

So, these past two weeks are brought to you by the Letter T and the Number 20. :-)

Here's what we covered:

Language Arts:
- Letter of the week craft (train tracks):

- Handwriting worksheets (Initial Sound T, Kidzone, Handwriting for Kids)

Math:
- Number 20 worksheet
- Counting worksheet
- Played with the Tangrams some more

Science:
- Tigers (read tiger books, watched a tiger clip on the web)
* We made the cutest craft ever! Here are K and C painting their paper bags:

The finished tiger puppet:

C decided it needed a tail (and so did she):

and she (completely on her own) added these adorable legs and whiskers!

- Science Journal page:

Social Studies:
- Thailand
* Couldn't get any age-appropriate books this week, so we read some parts of books on Thailand and looked at the pictures
* Learned about how the children there are taught respect for their elders. Even younger children have to say "big sister" instead of their older siblings name.
* Practiced the wai, which is a bow of respect.
* The best part was when C received a postcard from Tori - FROM THAILAND! What a super-fun coincidence. She LOVED it.
* Made a Thailand flag (C's idea!):

Sight Words:
