In Preparation for Week 1

Posted by Kristin at 11:30 AM
It becomes more and more evident that I'm a total nerd.  At one point, I thought I was just a food nerd, but I know now that it spans far beyond that!  Last night, I spent the majority of the evening planning the various activities for our preschool debut.  It is now all recorded in my new lesson plan book that I picked up for $1 at Target along with a sheet of star stickers (darn Dollar Spot gets me every time).  Here are the highlights.

Theme:  All About Me

Objectives:  Know full name, parents' names, address, phone number and birthday

Time period:  1 week instruction, continue reviewing and master within 1 month

Activities:  All About Me book, graph depicting the number of letters in first names, name rubbing, fingerprint examination, friend blocks, etc.

This weekend, I'm going to go through our craft/school supply closet and see if I can come up with 6 plastic folders that have the 3 prong clips inside.  I've decided that each week we will try and make a book for the kids to "read."  By using plastic, I can reuse the folder for each book.  I know we have a couple, but I might end up needing to buy 3-4 more depending on what I find.  So far, my spending is way down from what it would usually be, but the whole goal is to spend as little as possible.  It's a work in progress right?

The dollar area of Target is pretty awesome! I've also had great luck with the dollar store. And don't forget about freecycle. ;)
