Paper Frog Puppets!

Paper Frog Puppets!

Day 1 of our Week - Our theme this week is Ponds! Our letter of the week is the letter B, and the numbers of the week are 7 and 8.

Learning Activities - I have been using the workbook Everything for Early Learning Preschool workbook. (I purchased it at Wal-Mart).

Today's activities

1. The numbers 7 and 8 - counting objects, following directions

2. The concepts biggest and smallest - Recognition and following directions

3. The letter B, b - Writing the letter B, b.

4. Shape - Rectangle - Tracing and recognizing.

I always do letter/number reviews and they always write their names.

Additional Learning Activity - Writing numbers and ordering numbers.

Connor and Lauren wrote the numbers 1-10 in the boxes below the original numbers. Then they cut their written numbers out and glued them in sequence onto a piece of construction paper. I attached the original row/grid of numbers to their sequenced numbers. I found the template for this activity from the website http://thevirtualvine.com/frogs.html It is called number practice printable.

Number Practice

Project - Paper Frog Puppets!

I found the idea for this project from the website http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/frog First, I folded a green piece of construction into thirds, to form a long rectangle. Then, I folded the long rectangle into fourths, to form a w. The W is the frog! Then, Connor and Lauren glued googly eyes onto the top fourth and added the red tongue I had cut out from red construction paper. All of the directions are on the above website. This is a very simple craft to do, with very little prep work. It was a perfect project for today - we were at a birthday party all morning, so we had to do our "school" after nap time!!

Materials Needed - green construction paper, red construction paper, googly eyes, glue, scissors.
