Pumpkin Day

Today's theme is Pumpkins.  We're also working on recognizing and pronouncing the word "the".  We had to cancel Little Adventures Preschool due to a possible case of chicken pox in our home, but I went ahead and completed some of the activities with my three by ourselves.

Here we are working on a color by number of the word "the".  I love the Moffatt Girls Blog.  To download and print off these pages follow the link here:

This was the first activity where I dictated how something should be colored.  It was T's (4 yrs) first experience trying to stay "in the lines".

 EMan (13months) loved taking the lids off and trying to put them back on the markers.

 C (34 months) is very precise about his coloring and focuses to make sure he colors in the lines.

 My finished product.  Remember to check out the Moffatt Girls blog - follow the link on the right to see what they're doing.

 We also used a pumpkin book from Can Do Kinders.  I turned it into a cut and paste activity.  Check out this link to find the book to download and print for yourself.

 The book teaches positional words.  The boys glued the pumpkins into their correct location.

 Then we got out or magnifying glasses to see if we could find any words or letters that we knew.  We searched for the word 'the' specifically.

C finds words he knows.
