Preschool - Week 15 - The Red Carpet

This week was another fun, vintage children's story about a hotel that rolls out the red carpet for a special guest - except the carpet takes off and leads the police on a chase all around town.  We did another lapbook from homeschool share this week, throwing in a few worksheets from a workbook for variety.

We made a title page by only coloring the carpet red, like many pages in the book:

We talked about traffic signals and what each color meant.

 The police officers spent a lot of energy chasing the red carpet in the book. We talked about what police officers do in their jobs and made stickers to put together this little book:

We also added another sight word, "red":

E has been amazing me with her handwriting these days. We haven't been working on it together, but she will just copy words on her own. So I decided to add a little handwriting to our homeschool week:

The homeschoolshare lapbook kit had a map you could print out that includes the stores and path of the red carpet from the book.  I taped it inside a plastic page cover and added it to the lapbook so E can draw and "erase" her own paths through town:

Finally, I printed out a t-book template for E to make her own "red" book. She wrote the word "red" on the front and then cut out magazine pictures of red things to glue inside.
