September--Week Two

I'm formatting this a tad bit differently this week. Let me know if this is more or less helpful :)

Click here to download the PDF file of all 3 daily lessons for the week.

Prep Time--Day One!

1) Print out the Spanish Vocabulary Sheet. This can be added to a word wall,brought out like flashcards to practice, or just kept around to remind yourself of the spanish translation ;)

2) Check out the video of our Spanish song for this week!


3) Check out the No Time for Flashcards Bumblebee B page to see what the craft for Activity Two will look like and for more specific instructions!

4) Either gather 10 real apples or print out some apples to color and use as manipulatives in the Spanish Activity.

5) Gather your materials
  • yellow/white and black construction paper
  • 1 black/brown/yellow pipe cleaner
  • yellow paint
  • scissors
  • glue
  • art smock
  • 2-3 books from our Reading List (I suggest 10 Apples Up on Top, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and Adios, Oscar!)
Prep Time--Day Two!

1) The night/afternoon before, start dyeing the pasta for our math activity. The instructions are on your lesson plan under Activity One. The pasta needs to dry overnight or you'll end up with some very colorful little fingers for this activity :)

2) Print out the A-P-P-L-E cards and the corresponding apple sequencing cards. I recommend cutting them out and gluing them onto each side of a piece of construction paper or cardstock so they are more durable.

3) Gather your materials
  • dried pasta
  • rubbing alcohol
  • food coloring
  • plastic baggies
  • 2-3 books from the Reading List (I suggest 10 Apples Up on Top, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and Adios, Oscar!)


Prep Time--Day Three!

1) Print out the Bumblebee Letter Matching Sheets. You might want to cut out each square ahead of time so the activity goes more quickly, unless your child is old enough to help cut out squares.

2) Head on over to My Montessori Journey to see how she did the Torn Apple Art Project in her classroom. This will give you a good idea of how to structure Activity One.

3) Gather your materials
  • paper plate
  • 1 sheet each of red, green, and brown construction paper
  • glue
  • 2-3 books from our Reading List this month (I suggest 10 Apples Up on Top, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and Adios, Oscar!)

  2. Me too!!! When I just printed off the images before, it was cutting things off, so I had to go in and resize it all. This way it is perfect, and everything will be exactly the same size (which helps those crazies like me who like things to be the same). :)
