Review Week

Maybe I am just not a good teacher, but there are some things that are just not sticking. Mostly numbers and letters. I think I am just not focusing enough on review, so that's what this week is all about! Reviewing and putting to practice the things we already have learned.

MONDAY- NUMBERS 1-9
- Caterpillar Circles (I think I might do this as a felt board project or just thicker paper so it can be done over and over again.)
- Ice Cream Scoops (actually goes to 10, but I might take #10 out for now since we haven't "technically" learned it, I don't know)
- Number Nature Walk:
  Make a guide sheet that tells you specific numbers of things to look for. For example: 4 sticks, 5 pine cones, 6 rocks, etc. Whatever works for the area you are in. Bring a bucket and collect the right number of everything!
- Easter Egg Number Match:
Here is another game you can do with 9 plastic eggs.
  * Label the top of each egg with a number 1-9. Label the bottom of each with the corresponding amount of dots. Separate all the eggs and set them out in front of child and let them count and match.


TUESDAY- LETTERS- Magazine Letters:
Starting with A, help child look through magazines to find one of each letter they have learned. (A- I) Cut and paste them in order on a separate sheet of paper.
- Letter Stamping
Set out a stamp for each letter that has been learned. Ask child to find a certain one then let him stamp it on a paper. Then ask for another letter until they have all been used.
-ABC Bingo

WEDNESDAY- WRITING -
Today we practiced writing letters and drawing shapes. My son wanted to make cards for Grandpa and Daddy, so I let him write them himself. First I taught him how to write each letter in his name and he copied it onto the paper. Then he wrote Dad's name, etc. It turned out really cute.

THURSDAY- Shapes and Colors
- Review colors and shapes
This was mostly for my toddler. My preschooler had fun "teaching" her, though. It was fun.

FRIDAY-Fun Day!
- Play pictionary! (we used the white board on the easel
We used this as another review for drawing specific lines and shapes.
