Preschool: Humpty Dumpty and One

I don't know how I want to teach numbers to Robert. He can already identify the numbers and he counts pretty well. It is also very hard to teach the number one (which is why we just skip zero).

So, we first focused on Humpty Dumpty. He is Robert putting Humpty together again.
I am going to try to turn this into a file folder game.

Then I copied some worksheet pages that dealt with the number one.

He did pretty good about drawing a straight line to write the number one.

Then I wanted him to glue only one object of each item to the number one.

Thursday and Friday were crazy for us so we didn't do a shape or a color this week.

Preschool: Big A, Little a

This is the first time doing a lesson with just Robert, so I'm still trying to figure out what he is ready and interested in. First, we did a nursery rhyme. His favorite is Humpty Dumpty which he acts out a lot in Hailey's bed by falling off the railing.

Robert says Humpty Humpty, which is so cute!

Then we read Abby Alligator in our big AlphaTales Book. Robert already knows all his letters and can recognize both uppercase and lowercase most of the time. After our book, we turned the Uppercase A into an awesome alligator.

Here's my example.

Then using an idea from notimeforflashcards.com, we turned the lowercase a into an apple.

My example.

Finally, I wanted to see how much he could do so I gave him two worksheets.

This one is from Winnie-the-Pooh to trace and write the letters. He is not ready for that but it is still good to go through the motions and give him practice with a pencil.

The astronaut came from "My Kindergarten Learning Book" by Bright Start: Learn & Grow (got it at Costco). It has little a's and Big A's to find and count. Robert wasn't into that today.

Our lesson lasted 30 minutes and it was nice having time with just him. Hailey was very jealous but a good sport and stayed in the front room.
