{Books We Read & Bible Time}

This was probably one of our most favorite weeks of Ready-Made Preschool. We were to pick a Nursery Rhyme book we had and spend time reading poems from it every day. My Treasury of Nursery Rhymes is a book I bought for $5 when Little Bug was a baby. It’s a book that I will keep and read to generations to come! It’s become a very special book through the years. We had not read it much lately so we both enjoyed spending time reading poems from it daily. I think by the end of the week we had read nearly the entire book! Three of the days we had a specific poem that we focused on for that day’s activities. We read those poems from the book Hickory Dickory Dock. The poems were “Hickory Dickory Dock”, “Baa Baa Black Sheep” and “Little Miss Muffet”.

Our story this week during Bible time was Jonah and the Big Fish! We talked about obeying God and how we can’t run away from God.

{Letter of the Week}

The Letter of the Week was Letter Rr. Little Bug painted her letter r red, make the letter r in shaving cream and did her Do A Dot R, ABC Book page and made the Letter Rr with play doh!

{Nursery Rhyme Crafts & Activities}

We read “Hickory Dickory Dock” and then Little Bug got to make a clock. We learned the long hand tells the minutes on the clock and the short hand tells the hour. We learned when the big hand is pointing to the number 12 on the clock you say “o’ clock” and then when the short hand is pointing to a number on the clock you say that number. I asked her what time it was on her clock and I told her a time and had her show it to me on her clock. This was her first introduction to telling time!

We read “Little Miss Muffet” and Little Bug got to make a spider which she absolutely loved!

When we read “Baa Baa Black Sheep” Little Bug had cut outs of 4 sheep that she first put in order from largest sheep to smallest sheep. Then she had cotton balls and she had to estimate how many cotton balls would fit on each sheep before seeing how many actually fit.

{Nursery Rhyme Notebook}

Every day Little Bug got to make a page in her own little Nursery Rhyme Notebook. She cut the poem out and then glued the poem along with a little cut out picture of the poem.
