Earth Day day-by-day (Day 5)

Let's love our Planet and try each day, 

to do all things the greener way!!!

Day 5 - Read a book

There is nothing better than to pick up a book and read it with your kids. This time, you can do two things at once - not only read but also learn about the environment. There are many more titles that you can find, but these are the few our library owns. So go to your local library and find whatever they have, bring it home, and read... get inspired... and live accordingly. 

Only a little bit over a week till Earth Day everyone! Get ready for some super hero mission coming up next week here, on our blog! 

Popsicle sticks Spelling puzzle

I keep trying to come up with new ways to practice our spelling words. This is a little spelling puzzle made out of popsicle sticks. 

Print out a list of spelling words the kids are learning. 

Use permanent marker to write each letter of each word on popsicle sticks. 

Have kids build the words according to the sheet.

And finished product!

Eventually I will not give them the sheet with words, they will have to put the words together by memory.

Digging for Sight Words

One of many fun ways kids can learn sight words.

Fill a bigger bowl with sand. 

Put together a list of sight words, you want the kids to learn. 

(or just download ours here) 

 Cut out some of them (I used 3 words per child) 

then hide them in the sand.

Have the kids dig for the words, one at a time.

After they find one, 

have them re-write it on the erasable board. 

I typed up few sentences, which included the sight words they found in the sand, have them read the sentences, and circle the sight words. 

Make the sentences personal, so the kids can relate. 

Letter B hunt

This week we are learning letter B with the little preschoolers. Among some of the activities we tried the letter hunt.
It was a success!

Print out a sheet of bunch of letters
and include the letter B in each row.
(download a free copy here)
I repeated it a few times in some of the rows.
Give kids small pebbles, bingo chips, or jelly beans 

to cover all the letter B's. 

You can repeat this activity with any letter you are learning!
