Index ~ A is for...

One of my favorite things about our Preschool is that I can integrate Spiritual and other area's of interest into my teaching. 

Spiritual A's:

Aaron - prophet in the Bible & Book of Mormon

Able

Abish

Abinadi

Abraham

Accountability

Act

Adam - "A is for Adam" Walk Beside Me printables

Agency - LDS.org

Alma

Ammon

Anchor

Angels

Apostle - LDS.org

Ark
Articles of Faith - LDS.org

Atonement - LDS.org   The Friend

Music

One of the boys favorite things to do during the day is to listen to, dance, or act out songs.   I am enjoying using my new iTunes to import my music and a bonus (that I'm sure works with all digital music players) is that I can have it arrange all my songs into alphabetical order.  So for our "A, a" week we are listening to songs like "Alice the Camel", "Alphabet Song",  "Ants Go Marching", "Apples and Bananas", and "Animal Fun".   Enjoy!

                

        

Worksheets

I found some awesome worksheet books with a CD that prints off all sorts of fun worksheets for little ones to practice their abc's and handwriting.  I was lucky enough to find it at a yard sale, the dear lady selling it was a little chagrined that she sold it to someone who was not a "teacher" in the traditional sense, but I do think that it will be well used in this home.  Anyway it is what you will see in photos of what we are doing.  It is called "Handwriting Worksheets 4 Teachers", if you decide to get a copy make certain that it has the CD included, as that is where all the worksheet are, the book is just an instruction guide for the teacher.

I'm certain that there are lots of websites out there that have worksheet pages that will work just as well for free, I'll post them as I find them.  If you know of some feel free to let me know!

"A" is for...

We are starting our preschool. We will be doing 1 letter every 2 weeks and 1 number every week for our preschool (for now...once we really get in gear we'll bump it up to 1 letter a week). This week we'll start with the letter "A, a". Here are the ideas and posts that I am finding to use for our A week. Enjoy!

WEEK GOAL: Create a school Calendar.

August - the perfect month to start with the letter A.
