Preschool Round Up with the Letter T and Autumn

I do a blended preschool the the Little Dude with him at a preschool 2 days a week and at home 3 days a week.

Each day we have a letter, math and fine motor activity, as well as story time.  Sometimes we do gross motor skills, science, music, art or a field trip.

This week really got me in the mood for apple cider, crisp weather, leaf raking and all things autumn.  Sadly this week was a little short because Thursday I had a bout of food poisoning.


Book List

10 Fat Turkeys, a fun book that counts with rhyme the antics of ten fat turkeys.  




Fall Leaves Change Colors is a non-fiction book that explains how leaves change color in the fall.  



I love all these counting and alphabet books by Sleeping Bear Press.  Not autumn centered but about our state Michigan, it counts up using Michigan-y things.  It does mention maple syrup and voyagers, which for some reason put me in mind of fall.  




This beautifully illustrated counting book counts down from 10 to 1 with each page a different tree and animal as it moves through the autumn season. 


Letter T Activities



  • The Little Dude played with our newly made Harvest Play Dough.  He used stamps to make impressions in the dough. 


Math Activities


  • Counting Turkey:  I used an applique pattern to cut out a turkey from construction paper.  I number the feathers 1 - 10.  Little Dude put the feathers in order and glued them down.  He also drew the beak and put the little google eyes on dot of glue that I put on the face.







Fine Motor Activities


  • Hand Turkey - trace a hand put an eye, a beak and waddle, cut it out, color it turkey colors and viola you have a turkey.  I used this exercise to work on color recognition saying color this finger red and he would have to choose the correct color.  


What did you do this week?  I'd love to know.  Link up with your preschool post from this week using the linky below.
