Preschool Corner ~ Vegetables & Gardening

Our theme this week was vegetables and gardening.

Bible:

Our Bible verse this week was Genesis 1:29.  We talked about God providing everything we need.

Alphabet:
Our letter this week was V for vegetable.  I pulled out the sandpaper letters for Aiden.  He would trace the letter then write it in a tray of dirt.

We used the letter V playdough mat from Homeschool Creations

and worked on letter recognition with our Vegetable Alphabet Game.

He practiced spelling his name with the alphabet vegetables.

Aiden LOVED the Letter V Search from Home Grown Hearts.  He did the worksheet three times.

Math:
Aiden counted and graphed seeds.

We worked on pattern matching with a file folder game from Homeschool Share.

Colors:
Emily pulled out a color matching game and helped Aiden match the colored crayons to the words.

Other Fun Activities:
A Garden Tool Shadow Matching Game and

a vegetable feely bag.  I gathered veggies we had in the fridge and put them in a pillow case.  To make it easier for Aiden to identify the vegetables I printed cards showing what vegetables were in the bag.  He would draw a card and feel for the correct vegetable.

He had fun playing with Mr. Potato Head.

Books and Craft:
We read The Carrot Seed and Growing Vegetable Soup.  After we were finished reading we cut carrots out of cardstock and painted over them with mud.  Messy but fun!

Science:
We read How a Seed Grows, and took apart a lima bean, that I soaked overnight.  Aiden got a close look with a magnifying glass.

We worked on putting Sprouting Bean Sequencing Cards in order.

Aiden planted some beans, which we will be observing, and hopefully eating this summer!
