E is for Elephant…

Ok, I’d fallen off the wagon for awhile with doing any “formal” preschool. Lately, we’ve been doing little activities here and there without a theme… coloring, cutting, puzzles, alphabet flashcards, etc.

Today I got back to the alphabet…

E is for….

- Fill a bag with items that start with letter E, both long and short sound- egg, eggplant, earrings, stuffed eagle. Let kids pull them out.

- Print out a couple of E worksheets from First School. Let Seth and Evan both color one- S. with washable markers, Evan with crayon. Seth cuts his up afterward.

- Make this craft together- an awesome elephant! Identify the shapes and colors used and talk about which are bigger or smaller. Add googly eyes for fun… and let Evan help with the glueing and placement as interested…

- Watch this video on elephants. There is great footage of elephants playing in the water together… Point out the body parts we just glued together.

- Make elephants out of Play Dough… as well as other things that start with E. Let them come up with ideas…

- Puzzle time….
