Mailman, Grocer and Garbage Man

Here is what we’ve been doing this week. Let us know what you think.  We hope by providing these materials to you free of charge, it will make your life easier! 

Lesson Plan: The lesson plan includes all the lessons for the week, as well as optional ideas. Items following the lesson plan are just the printables or links to websites we used to teach these plans.  (Please note: On top of our lesson plan we are reading books daily that relate to our theme throughout the week.)

Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time.  You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations.  Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.

Day 1:

Mailman Beginning Writing- Not all tots will be ready for this, so don’t stress if yours has difficulty.  I helped my son trace the lines, and then just let him go.   He was all over the place, but he was still working on fine motor development. You can use this document over and over again if you laminate it and then have you child write with dry erase markers. (Black dry erase wipes off easier than color ones.)

Mailbox Counting Mat- This activity will help your child begin to read, count and model whole numbers 1-10.

Day 2:

Garbage Shape Sort- This is a great activity to reinforce shapes and colors. You can use the shapes printable or if you already have a shape manipulative (shape foam beads or shape buttons), then you can use those.

 

Day 3:

G is for Groceries- Teaches your child how letters are linked to sounds to form letter-sound correspondence.

Grocery Lacing Patterns- This activity will help your child begin to recognize, describe and extend patterns.
