The girls had fun learning about a bus today. They discovered that they love Honeycomb, and enjoyed creating the beehive. We got our recourses for today from the B is for Bee, Bus, Bear Teachers Pay Teachers pack.
Bus Learning
- We watched Preschool School Bus Safety first.
- Next we read rom the Abeka Preschool Language Development Cards to learn more buses.
Bus Writing
- The girls each had a similar writing paper for the letter B. My 3 year old had a capital B and lowercase b with tracing arrows, along with a bus to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added a short poem and more tracing B’s and b’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the B is for Bee, Bus, Bear Teachers Pay Teachers pack.
B is for Bus Craft
- I printed this B is for Bus Craft onto cardstock for the girls to paint. I cut out the capitol “B” for them to paint yellow. After that dried they glued it to a piece of brown construction paper. Then I cut out the tires for them to glue on.
The Wheels on the Bus (shapes)
- First we sang the Wheels on the Bus with The Good and the Beautiful.
- I printed out the Shape Wheels on the Bus game on cardstock and then cut the pieces and laminated them. Then she reviewed her shapes as she matched up the tires with the bus tires.
- We found this Wheels on the Bus with Jesus song that they seemed to like, I think because it is familiar yet different.
Color Bus Match
- I printed out the Bus Color Match paper, she matched the bus with the word color. The words are in color to make the matching easier.
Bus Snack
- We placed a slice of cheese on the graham cracker and then added Cinnamon Toast Crunch for the windows and mini Oreo‘s for the wheels.
The Bears on the Bus
- I printed out the Bears on the Bus game on cardstock and then cut out the pieces and laminated them. She used her counting bears to place the appropriate amount on each bus with a number.
Name Bus
- I printed out the Name Bus pieces on cardstock and cut them out. The girls glued them to a piece of black construction paper. Then they added a picture of themselves to the driver window and the letters of their names to the following windows in the bus.
My “b” Book
- I read the My “b” Book by Jane Belk Moncure to the girls. It has a lot of words that start with “b” for them to learn.
