These are just a few of the preschool/First Grade Activities we have done.
I found this book at the Library, I love it. Wish I owned it. BUT it is out of print so it is expensive. BUT we enjoyed the Library copy, and learned all about shapes, this was really a review but this book had some shapes that are more then the standard shapes. Then we drew all kinds of shapes out side with chalk, also traced the boys and had fun, making all kids of chalk drawings.
Another one we like is "guess where the rock is" we got these stackable cups from Ikea, but anything will do, we put a small rock under one then they take turns moving them around and hoping the cups around switching things up fast then you try to guess where the rock is. Lots of fun, great at developing skills with paying attention, and focusing etc.
Both boys know what better b and d are but when Ryan is reading he often times mixes them up. I thought it would go away but even after a year of reading and he is reading many words on his own he still mixes them up. I was super happy when I found this idea on Pinterest, worked like a charm! More details bellow.
You can only Bulldoze a b! "b" is for bulldozer, and when you scoot a little bulldozer along it will stay straight, because it is a b! But, if you try to bulldoze a d, it will dump over because "d" is for dump!
This activity worked soooo well, and really make it click! when reading I tell him to check and use his finger like a bulldozer, if his finger lines up with a "b" then it will be bulldozed. If it hits a curve part of a "d" then he knows it will dump. After only 1-2 days of this activity he has got it, and does not mix them up any more.
I used some magnet letters and a little bulldozer that we already had, and drew a track on some paper.
