Home Preschool: The Beginning and Lesson 1

My dear P is growing fast and with a new baby sister, a move to a different state, and her Dad working and in grad school, I know she needs some special time with just Mom. I also know that she is old enough to start working on some preschool learning. I am in no way a certified teacher, but I am her mother and I see what she is interested in and what can help her become the best person she can be. I'm hoping that if I blog our lessons, then I will be more organized and accountable for what we do every week. My goal is to have "home preschool" two-three times a week. I am going to incorporate scripture stories and songs into our lessons. We will be using only free or very cheap resources that I will share here. Wish me luck!

Lesson 1.1: Colors (Noah's Ark and Rainbows)


Bible Story: Noah's Ark (emphasis on obedience)
Finger Play:
Noah built an ark, oh so big and wide,
(Place wrists together, hands in cupping shape.)
All the animals hurried to be safe inside.(Wiggle fingers, then fold them in and touch knuckles.)
It kept them dry from the flooding rain,For forty days and nights.(Rock fists back and forth as if the ark is rocking upon the waves.)
Until Noah was told to come out again(Fingers open up and out to original position.)
And see the rainbow bright!(Form a rainbow with arms.)

Coloring Page, Tracing Activity:
After she colored this, we practiced her scissor skills and she cut out a rainbow from a paper plate. We taped it to the back of this rainbow, as well as a popsicle stick, so that she can hold it up whenever we talk about colors.
