On Tuesday, we did more with the Letter D and the Number 3. I got serious with Reese about cooperating with hand over hand tracing. I want to strike a good balance between allowing his interests to lead our preschool efforts, and making him understand there are certain things he needs to learn. He was rewarded for his good listening with another firetruck coloring page. :)
We had fun making spaghetti and meatballs with his play dough. I taught him the Meatball Song, which cracked him up. We have a tickle fest at the end, at "nothing but mush."
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table, and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled right out the door.
It rolled into the garden, and under a bush.
And then my poor meatball was nothing but MUSH!
We looked at Europe on his map, and did lots of reading. He is fascinated by the book Corduroy, by Don Freeman (an oldie but a goodie). There are dozens of new words for him to learn in this book!
Vocab words:
Lost
Shelf
Escalator (!)
Watchman
Flashlight
