The Forest

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy .

This unit has been expanded. Download all printables here.


Here is what we’ve been doing this week. Let us know what you think.  We hope by providing these materials to you free of charge, it will make your life easier! 

Lesson Plan: The lesson plan includes all the lessons for the week, as well as optional ideas. Items following the lesson plan are just the printables or links to websites we used to teach these plans.  (Please note: On top of our lesson plan we are reading books daily that relate to our theme.)

Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time.  You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations.  Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.

Day 1:

P is for Pine Tree- Teaches your child how letters are linked to sounds to form letter-sound correspondence.

Count & Match Pine Trees– This activity will help your child begin to read, count and model whole numbers 1-10.  (This activity was inspired by Confessions of a Homeschooler.)

Animal or Plant Sort– Use this activity to review the plants and animals of the forest you’ve learned about this week.

Day 2:

Letter Punch: P- Teaches your child how letters are constructed by tracing them in a fun way. If regular push pins are to hard for your child to grasp, then you may want to look into Jumbo Push Pins.This post contains affilated links.  Please click here to read my full disclosure policy. Your child can use one Jumbo Push PinThis post contains affilated links.  Please click here to read my full disclosure policy.to poke around the shape of the letter, instead of the example below.

  

Pine Cone Size Sort– This activity can be varied depending on your child’s skill level.  For example you can sort into 2 or 3 piles (Big & Small or Big, Medium & Small).

 

Animal Track Match- Have fun learning about the tracks that forest animals make with this picture puzzle.  We recommend printing this on cardstock and laminating.

Day 3:

Color By Letter- This activity will review letters that we have be learning.

Roll a Graph– This activity will introduce your child to data collection and interpretation.  Once you’ve completed the graph (first animal to 10), make sure to ask simple questions.  Such as, “Which color is taller? What animal is that?  Which color is shorter? What animal is that? How many times did we give the (animal) a sticker?”  Make sure to show them how to use the graph, instead of just counting the stickers.

Online Forest Games– Sheppard Software offers a variety of preschool activities related to the forest.

We hope you enjoy these lesson plans and please let us know if you have any issues with downloading or using the items provided.

You all, it is so important to do everything you c You all, it is so important to do everything you can to make sure to maintain your health and your family's too this season.  My family and I always take proactive steps in the winter. Honestly, the steps we have taken in the past have kept my family healthy and we rarely get sick. This year we are adding some extra things to help support our immune system.  I've had several people asked me what I'm doing, so a few of my friends and I are actually going to have a little sharing session this Wednesday night (8:15 EST). We will be sharing all the ways we stay proactive with our health, especially in the winter. We'll have some practical tips, as well as some, must-haves to keep on hand to help your family stay above that wellness line.  It's happening this Wednesday (11/18) at 8:15 pm EST.  Let me know if you want in and I will get you the dets.  We will be talking about essential oils, but there are so many other things we do as well.  We will have a packet for everyone that comes, so you won't have to worry about your hand cramping from all the notes you'll want to write down!
You all, I can't believe it is November! However, You all, I can't believe it is November! However, I'm so glad it is because I am tired of all the crazy this year and I need to change my attitude! I'm going to be intentional this month and practice gratitude.  Here's the thing, I think you should join me because research studies show that finding a bit of thankfulness each day can actually increase your happiness level and decrease depression!! It also increases physical health (hello cold & flu season), brain function, and a sense of fulfillment. I know, with everything going on in the world right now I could use a little more of ALL of that!  So, who's with me? What are you thankful for today?  🍂Today I am thankful for the colorful fall leaves swirling by my windows. 🍂

I love this reminder from the Lord! Last week was I love this reminder from the Lord!  Last week was our first week back to homeschool. And I think it is safe to say that we all dealt with an array of emotions that week.  I had to give myself a timeout the first day!! So, this reminder is perfect as we begin this week  After evaluating how things went I can see that it was my thoughts and attitude that was the ultimate cause of my feelings of frustration and irritation. Things weren’t going the way I had planned.  I mean, let’s be honest this year isn’t really going as any of us have planned. Am I right?  Here’s the thing, we have a choice in how we think, and since our thoughts affect our emotions, we have a choice in how we feel.  But praise the Lord we don’t have to let our circumstances dictate our attitude or the the way we think!  WHO ELSE NEEDS THE SPIRIT TO RENEW THEIR THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE THIS WEEK?  #allthefeels #scripture4atm #mommymeltdown #bibleverseoftheday #homeschoolmom #backtoschool #attitudeiseverything #emotionsresetchallenge #joycomesinthemorning #whatwefocusongrows #gratitudeattitude
