Dear Sis,
Today was our much anticipated, FIRST DAY of PRESCHOOL! We started our lesson with Calendar Time. Mellissa and Doug sell a great magnetic calendar, we chose for our home school routine.
Our Daily Reading
I tried to find an age appropriate piece of fiction and non-fiction for each lesson. Today’s books were Ten Apples Up On Top! by Theo. LeSieg and How Do Apples Grow? by Jill McDonald.
“a” is for Apple Letter Craft
Parent Preparation
- print a is for Apple Letter Craft Printable, on white card stock
- tear bits of brown and red construction paper
- make a leaf from green construction paper
- supply a glue stick

Student Assembly
- paste torn bits of construction paper to the “a” to create stem and apple
- find the brown crayon and draw or ask your grown up to draw some seeds in the center of the “a”

Apple Tree Play Doh Counting Mats

- Free Apple Tree Counting Mats by Play Dough to Plato, printed on card stock and laminated for durability
- This free printable counts 1-10. I want to focus on 0-9 for now, so I whited out the 1 on the 10 card before laminating it.
- Melissa and Doug Numeral Puzzle
- Green, Red, or Yellow Play Doh
Our Process
- First, we matching the numeral puzzle piece with the numeral on the counting mat.
- Then, we counted the number of objects beneath the numeral on the puzzle.
- Finally, we placed the correct number of play doh apples on the counting mat, counting aloud with each addition.
