Posh Princess Preschool {Letter Ii is for Insect}

Is it just me, or is "I" a tricky letter to make a theme around?  I suppose I could have chosen Ice Cream, but a whole week of Ice Cream themed activities in the middle of winter seems a little bit odd.  So we chose I is for Insects and ran with it.


We did this letter around the time of Olivia's fourth Birthday (December) thus the reason for the Christmas tree in the pictures.  And I am finally getting around to posting what she did...

Posh Princess Preschool - Letter Ii

(Linking up with Preschool Corner today!)

Ii is for: Ice Cream, Iguana, Inchworm

Priddy Books Wipe Clean Flash Cards...

Of course we had to get out the Inchimals again! 

She really loves this activity and requested to do it several times this week.

One of the many Insect books we read was The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carl. 

Here she is doing the preschool pack I made for her last year.

Spelling her name: Elaina

A Bug Math Worksheet, matching numbers 1-5 with corresponding insects…

Some puzzles from the story.  I made 4 of them,

 however she expressed that I should have made one for each insect!

The rest of the puzzles…

Upper Case/Lower Case match.  She needed a little help with this one.

Here are the Bug Facts from the ring. 

She matched each one up with the correct story card from the book. 

Then we read the fact on each card.

Cricket sizing from largest to smallest…

The last part is for her to create or to draw her favorite bug. 

(The cute little purple bug on the top is a scanned image of a bug

 she and I created using Eric Carl's style of painting.)

Some review from Confessions…She placed a pom pom on the matching lowercase letter.

Her worksheets for the week:  Letter I coloring page, smallest object,  letter Ii hunt…

Here she is doing our Busy Bugs set. 

 This has been one of the best tools we have and gets used a lot!

Another fun activity:  A learning journey makes a lot of fun

puzzle activities and we are fortunate to own many of them. 

This is a new one called Who Am I?

We had to have Ice Cream Sundaes! 

These ones had Chocolate and Carmel Sauce with

Chocolate Chips and glazed walnuts. 

 Yummy!

Doing an insect pattern from Playful Patterns...

This is an awesome activity by Lakeshore Learning called Beginning Sounds.

Each card has 4 objects on it and you match a free object

 with the same beginning sound to it. 

 For example, B= Butterfly and B=Button. 

She loved this activity and requested to do it a bunch. 

My girl loves to draw, so I set up everything for her to make a poster of insects. 

She chose 5 cards from a flash card set we have and we read all about each of those bugs. 

Then she set to drawing them.  

Without any instruction, she drew and colored each one of them! 

We had to hang it in the school room!

I just love this picture of her coloring. 

 She has on one of her Tu-Tu dresses with a straw hat and a princess crown! 

Now that’s style for ya!
