Christmas Pack from Confessions of a Homeschooler

Spelling Activity

My little guy LOVES this! I pull out the

Scrabble pieces and he matches the letters

to the worksheet I made.

More Math! :)

Cutting Practice

My little buddy LOVES to use scissors

and he's getting better at doing it all

by himself! :)

He only did the arc, we'll get to the up and down motion soon.

I found this on Pinterest! Christmas Fine Motor Activity

Sort our the Christmas M&M's and then move them

to the correct circle spaces to make a wreath.

It took a few minutes to warm up to moving the M&M's

for most of them went in the mouth first! ;)

Then we got the hang of it!!!

Look, it's green!!! He said. 

And back to eating...

Almost done and quite a full belly by this time too.

All done - isn't it pretty?

Shadow matching from PreK Nativity Pack at OverTheBigMoon.blogspot.com

He wanted to match the shadows to the correct picture.

This is a cool book for toddlers that can't read yet.

It's prayers using rubics.

This is the Christmas prayer in the book.

I would read the words and little guy would tell me what the picture in the prayer is.

Then of course we had to end with singing "Away in a Manger".

Our theme this week was the 3 Wise Men, so we did the puzzle building

of the Wise Man from OverTheBigMoon Nativity Packet.

This was a great Pre-write Worksheet.

Harder than what my son is used to, but it really helped

him slow down and pay attention to staying "inside the lines".

He did really good for his first time with this type of prewrite activity.

Coloring Page I created.  He used markers and of course

almost everything had to be "purple" - his favorite color.

Calendar time!

He names the numbers and then tells me the next number (date for today).

He pulls out the next date card and hangs it.  Then we recount

the dates, recite today's full date (Thursday, December 8, 2011).

 Then we sing our 2 songs:

Days of the Week

Today Is...

I found this magnet page mid-week and couldn't resist!

I don't have bingo markers or do-a-dot markers, we use the

Crayola Tadoodle markers to make dots - works great!

He had fun saying "Ok, I'm done!" then I would try to

make dots and he'd stop me and finish some more, then

do it all over again... until it actually was done...

Finished result!

Muffin Tin Snack!

Kiwi, Apples, Puffs, Goldfish, Cheese

Playdough time!!!

And he found my cookie cutters...

And I bet you can't guess what he made....

Yes! A train!!! :)

Our "Yellow" Box of Goodies

He poured them all out, then put them back in the box

then poured them all back out again!

Then he found his yellow sunglasses and wanted me to take funny pictures:

What a FUN week!!! :)
