to teach at a time).

/c/ as in cookie
·
Introduce/Review the theme words for the week:

Caterpillar, clown, clock, castle, cow, cat,
coche (Spanish-optional)
o
Show the child the word while you say it.
Explain that the word starts with the letter __ and help your child spell the words
if they are able. If not, just read the word, show them the picture on the back

Give the child three of an object and ask the
child to tell you how many items there are. Help them count the objects.
Monday (Language Arts Emphasis):
·
Give the child a tracing or coloring page for
the letter C. You can find books of these at the dollar store or Target. There
are also many resources online. If you don’t have a tracing/coloring page for
them. Just draw the letter C (upper and lower case) and help them trace it or
draw it on their own.
o
Here is a link to several: https://www.google.com/search?q=letter+c+worksheets&espv=2&biw=950&bih=934&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CB0QsARqFQoTCILruruI1McCFYPUgAodcFgI_w
·
Read the child a book that has a lot of the
letter C in it. I always just go to my local library’s website and search for
children’s books that have titles starting with the letter C. Or I search for
books about the theme words. Any C book will do.
o
Examples of books to use:
§
The Very
Hungry Caterpillar by Arlene Dubanevich
§
Caps for
Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina
o
Ask the child to find the letter C in the title
and say the word with them, emphasizing the sound the letter makes in the word.
Tuesday (Math and Music Emphasis):
·
Give the child a tracing or coloring page for
the number 2. Again, you can find books like this at the dollar store or Target
(still for a dollar) or Google them and you can find some free resources.
o
Here is a link to several: https://www.google.com/search?q=letter+c+worksheets&espv=2&biw=950&bih=934&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CB0QsARqFQoTCILruruI1McCFYPUgAodcFgI_w#tbm=isch&q=number+3+worksheets

wrote this song, called “Spring Waltz.” Play the song for the child.

Show child the “C is for Cougar” page and the

·
Discuss the “Facts about Cougars” page.
o
TIP: I find it be more effective if I read fact
and then ask my son a question to which the answer would be in that fact. It
helps him pay attention and internalize information.
·
Have your child color the antelope coloring page.
o
Here are some coloring pages to choose from: https://www.google.com/search?q=cougar&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIxajIr4nUxwIVxs2ACh0n0A_o&biw=950&bih=897#tbm=isch&q=cougar+coloring+pages

purple and green. Then paint the coloring page of the car.

I started doing at-home preschool at the end of last year and followed the general pattern from Brightly Beaming Resources. The lesson plans you will find here have some ideas from that website, but I have made major changes from their general pattern and I think my lesson plans are easier to follow because I've already done more legwork for you. I found that my son was losing interest in some of the activities so I've cut those out and replaced them with others. I hope you like what I've come up with!
