Preschool ~ The letters M & X and plans for the new school year

We are in the middle of planning & organizing for the new school year and I realized that we did not even tell about our letters M & X.  I think we did these back in…MAY! 

Since we were nearing the end of the school year, we kept it very simple and had fun.

~ M is for markers~

 

  

 

 ~ X is for xylophone~

~ M is for music~

~Clapping a rhythm and the remnants of a painting session~

~Making music with some instruments (and a little more paint…we love our paint!)~

 

 

~We even made some of our musical instruments.~

 

 ~Here comes the marching band!~ 

 

~ M is for motion~

Ok, so I didn’t use the word “motion” with Little Brother but he gave me some blog photo ops and he learned a little science too.

 

~ M is for movie day~

 

One day, we popped a bowl of popcorn, got comfy, and watched a movie.

 

 ~The big kids joined us too!~

 

~M is for Memorial Day Weekend~

I’d really love to edit out my double chin but I don’t have photoshop. ;) So please focus on my Sunshine beauty instead.  :)

We still have two letters left to do – the letters O & Y.  We will finish those up so she can put them on her alphabet wall and see all that she has learned this year!

Plans for Preschool 2010 – 2011

I really wanted to write our own preschool curriculum this year.  However, I  realized that I really don’t have the time to do it.  So here are my plans for  the year.~

Before Five in a Row

Letter  & Character Curriculum at Hubbard’s Cupboard (free curriculum)

Begin reading (if she is ready) with The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading

Math Ideas from Hubbard’s Cupboard

This past year we did an alphabet wall to display her letters.  However, this year we are going to do a scrapbook.  I’m thinking…

My memories of my letters, numbers, and me 

Or something like that!
