Harris' Pre-K Move Up Day

Harris William is officially a Kindergartener now! Yesterday we celebrated his Pre-K Move Up Day. Here are a few videos & photos from the celebration.

Harris' Preschool - Letters X, Y, & Z

We did it! Harris finished up letters X, Y, & Z! It's only taken us over a year, due to all of our big life changes. LOL

Harris made all three letters with dobbers - X, Y, & Z

Harris used pattern blocks to build all three letters - X, Y, & Z

X is for X-Ray

Y is for Yarn

Z is for Zig-Zag

Harris made a Yellow Collage

Y is for Yellow

X is for X-Ray

 X is for X-Out - Harris circled all of the X's & put an X over all other letters

Counting Game - we read Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 & then Harris rolled the dice, counted the number, & then put that many pompoms into the cup. He continued until the cup was full. He did great with the counting & played the game several times.

We also did lots of handwriting & name writing practice this week. Now that we have finally finished our letter preschool, we are going to continue to working on fine motor skills & do some fun Christmas activities!


 

Harris' Preschool - Letter W

So I will admit, that we are struggling finishing up our letters... :) So there isn't anything crazy exciting going on here, but we will finish something at least. LOL

W is for White

Letter W Dobbers

Letter W Patter Blocks

W is for Water Balloons!

We did a water balloon toss to wash away the W on the driveway. Harris decided to get a little closer...

He figured out the bet way to wash it away! :)

Word Worm - Harris built a word worm for his name. I let him put the circles in whatever order that he wanted & he put them in a perfect ABC pattern. Then I wrote his name on the circles & he traced it. I also mixed up the letter so he could build the word worm again by spelling his name, before we glued it together.

W is for Water Beads - one of our favorite sensory activities!

 

Spiders & Monsters & Frankenstein, Oh My!

Here are a few of the fun Halloween activities we've done this year. I had a few more in mind, but like everything lately, we didn't get to them all! :P
