Preschool at Home: Week 8

This past week we studied the letter "H," the number 8,

 the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty" as well as some other things.

 Here's a look at our board:

 

We made a house using the letter H.

 We covered a lower case h with hearts.

 

We played with our remote control helicopter 

(thanks Aunt Amy and Uncle Adam).

 

We didn't do a whole lot with the number 8 this week, 

but we did practice number recognition by playing Chutes and Ladders. 

  

We learned "Humpty Dumpty" and acted it out using some props. 

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall...

 Humpty Dumpty had a great fall...

 

 All the king's horses and all the king's men 

couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again.

  

We read quite a bit about Moses this week 

and we focused on singing Hallelujah, Praise Ye The Lord.

 Silas is also enjoying learning time! Take a look at that pencil grip!

 

This was the first week that Seth could actually remember what sound the letter we were studying made and could also identify it when you said a word that began with an "h" sound. Previously, I didn't really put a lot of emphasis on this, but Seth is really interested in what signs and billboards say right now, and will ask what sound certain letters make on those signs. Since he's showing a lot of interest, we'll probably start doing more activities that relate to the sounds.

This coming week we'll be learning about the letter "I."
