Harris' Preschool - Letter F

Now that Halloween has passed, we have started back on the alphabet.  This past week, Harris learned about the letter F.

F is for Football - he was excited to find it in his letter box.

F is for Feather

Making his dot letter F's

F is for Feather - so this week we decorated the letter with feathers!

Harris sorted feathers by color.

F is for fruit!

We talked about the differences between fruit & vegetables.  Harris sorted the fruits & veggies.

Harris made his name out of torn paper.  We love fine motor practice. Normally I wouldn't let him go out of order, but this day he wanted to choose which letter to do first. 

F is for Fly Swatter - Harris swatted the letters that I called out for him.  Then we played again with the letter sounds.

F is for Foil - Harris got to play with some foil.  He enjoyed tearing pieces off & making them into little balls.

F is for Flour!

Harris made a mess pretty quickly with the dry flower.

Then we added water to play with some dough.

F is for Fruit Loops!

Harris & Nolin both made Fruit Loop rainbows!  We sand the color songs while working...

We used cotton balls for clouds.

Of course the kids got to eat some Fruit Loops when they were finished.

F is for Finger Paint!

Harris sorted upper & lowercase letter F's.

F is for Family Portraits - Harris would say, "leg, leg, circle, eye, eye, hair".  LOL

Making upper & lowercase pattern block letter F's.

Harris practiced counting & fine motor skills by placing beads onto pipe cleaners.  I helped him recognize the number & then he would place beads on. We did the counting together to practice one-to-one correspondence. 

F is for Fish - goldfish! Harris counted fish to add to their fish bowls.

Up next...letter G!
