Raising rock stars preschool--letter T

This weeks focus was the letter T, and the scripture was from the 10 commandments (Thou shalt not steal, Exodus 20:15).  It was fun to focus on the 10 commandments, and this particular scripture he really enjoyed.  It has actually been a little problem of his lately, stealing (his sister's stuff, his brother's stuff, etc), so it was good for him to learn that it's not right to take things that aren't his.  I tell you this preschool is so fitting for him.  We aren't getting to it every week, but he really likes it when we do it.

Cutting out the scripture to make it into a strip...

...and, taping it together

This was the craft, making the 10 commandments stone with numbers 1-10 on it.  He didn't really dig this.

Looking at the letter and sight word for the week.  Having these really helps him, and he's excited about recognizing words.

He made the connection that the number for the 2nd week of Raising rock stars preschool was 2, and he remembered that last weeks was 1.  So he got last weeks number out so he could put them in order.

Surprisingly, he loved coloring the picture for the scripture.  This boy usually does not like to color.  It was a picture of a person taking somebody's piggy bank, like they are stealing.  I think he found it so interesting because like I said it is something that he is having issues with right now.  We talked about why taking things is wrong, and what we should do if we find something and are tempted to take it.  It was a very teachable moment.

I try to do as much of the same stuff with Aric that I'm doing with Aaron.  He's almost at the same level in some areas, and he loves to be a part of it.  Here he is coloring his sheet.

Even though he wasn't interested in the craft, he started drawing his own 10 commandment stones and writing the numbers in them.  He made his own "craft" as he says.

This week was done around groundhog's day, so he also did a groundhog matching sheet.

I love this one of them both showing me the props for the week.

Aaron working on the vocabulary cards.  He decided to trace around them all before cutting them out.

Other preschool fun

I found this idea on No time for flashcards.  It's called a coloring museum.  To get my boys more interested in coloring I put up a whole bunch of color wonder pages for them to color, and display for all to see.  They really liked it.

Artists hard at work.

Aric worked on glueing T pictures to this T page.

And, of course an all time favorite, sorting pom poms.
