Back to School Words

One of my teachers asked her to make common noun and action word cards. She I'll be using these words for the first month to stress the nouns, adjectives for weather, classroom helper jobs, and center names.  You can print out two copies and play memory with these words.

Back to School Social Story

This story is all about going to back to school, or starting a new school!  If you read this story to your child it will help prepare him/her for going back to school.  I will be reading it with all of the children the first week of school (next week!)

Uno Moo

Here is my favorite game of the week!

This game is so cute, and kids love it! You can use it to match colors and animals, answer wh- questions, and practice taking turns.  You can also have your child practice their sounds between each play or tell you a sentence about the animal they are playing. I definitely recommend trying it out!

Preschool Action Words

Show your child these action words so they know what to expect at school. You can talk about what the boy is doing in each picture and how they might do the same things in their classroom!

Back To School Bingo

School is just around the corner!  Print out these bingo sheets to play with your children to get them ready mentally for school!  This will also help them learn or become re-familiar with the vocabulary words again.

Hurry Before School Starts!

Before everyone heads back to school, you MUST go check out Imagination Avenue!  It is the cutest place I have ever been that is child related.  I brought my 2-year old nephew there who was entertained for an hour and a half with all of the different dramatic play areas. I also saw some children as old as 7 years old. There is a lot to check out including a pretend supermarket, house, bakery, Home Depot, dress up area, and a slide!

Pool Story

Print out the pictures and tell your child the story.  After, have them put the story in the correct order.  Then, they can answer questions about the story.

 Page 1: Sally wants to go outside and play with her friends!
Questions: What does Sally want to do?  What do you think her and her friends are going to do?

 Page 2: Sally finds her friends. They are going to the pool.  They tell Sally "You can't play with us!  You'll get your clothes all wet!"  Sally feels really sad
Questions: Where are Sally's friends going?  Why can't she play with them?  How does she feel?

 Page 3: Sally tells her mom "They won't let me play with them!  They said I"ll get my clothes wet at the pool."  Sally's mom tells her, "You just need to put on your bathing suit!"
Questions: What does Sally need to put on?

 Page 4: Sally puts on her bathing suit and says "I'm ready for the pool!"  Now Sally feels excited to go find her friends.
Questions: How does Sally feel? What color is her suit?  Where is she going to go?  What will she do in the pool?

Page 5: Sally swims in the pool!  She doesn't worry about getting her clothes wet, because she has her bathing suit!  Sally and her friends have so much fun swimming in the pool!
Questions: What are all the friends doing?  How many friends do you see?
