First, we did our do-a-dot, pattern block template, and playdoh mat for the letter P:
We also completed a few pages from a pirate-themed preschool pack. We worked on beginning letter sounds and tracing words, as well as matching the word to the corresponding object (Caleb needed a little help with this one, which is what I expected. He'd tell me what letter he thought each object started with, and I'd help him scan the list to find the word).
This pirate pack also had a fun activity where you group word families together...they made it look like grouping coins together to put in treasure chests!
We also made a pirate hat out of a big piece of paper. Normally you use newspaper, but this time we used a big sheet from his daddy's desk calendar at work (once he finishes a month, he tears it off and brings it home for Caleb to color!). Caleb was less enthused with wearing it but he indulged me long enough for a picture (and go figure, he wore it around the house the next day!).
Finally, we did our magazine scavenger hunt and collage for the letter P...we found a lot of stuff!
We listened to Christmas music while we worked this week. :)
