U is for Umbrella (preschool)

The girls had fun learning about umbrella today. They loved playing in the rain and crafts. We got our recourses for today from the U is for Umbrellabird, Underground & Umbrella Teachers Pay Teachers pack.

Umbrella Learning

• We learned more about umbrellas by watching this How Does an Umbrella Work video.
• She also did her Umbrella page from her Abeka Letters & Sounds for 3’s book.
• She also completed her umbrella craft from her Abeka Arts and Crafts with Button Bear book.
• We reviewed all of the sounds we have learned so far with the Abeka Alphabet Flashcards.

Umbrella Writing

• The girls each had a similar writing paper for the letter U. My 3 year old had a capital U and lowercase u with tracing arrows, along with an umbrella to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added a short poem and more tracing U’s and u’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the  U is for Umbrellabird, Underground & Umbrella Teachers Pay Teachers pack.

Umbrella Craft

• I printed out the Umbrella Colors craft for her to cut out the colored raindrops and glue them under the matching color under the umbrella.

Ten Umbrellas

• The girls each had a similar number 10 paper for counting umbrellas. My 3 year old had the number 10 with tracing arrows, along with a helpful poem, and 10 umbrellas to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added more tracing 10’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the U is for Umbrellabird, Underground & Umbrella Teachers Pay Teachers pack.

Name Umbrellas

• The girls use the Umbrella Names paper to practice making their names.

Umbrella Worksheets

• We did the I Spy the Letter U or u with a dot dauber.
• I also printed out the Umbrella Shape Trace paper for her to work on her fine motor writing skills.

More Umbrella Videos

• The girls liked Caitie’s Classroom Live Rain a lot.
• Last we watched The Magic School Bus Water Cycle.

Umbrella Books

• Zig and the Magic Umbrella by Sylvie Kantorovitz
• The Umbrella Day by Nancy Evans Cooney
• Umbrella by Taro Yashima

My “u” Book

• I read the My “u” Book by Jane Belk Moncure to the girls too.

Umbrella Play

• The girls got new umbrellas for Christmas, so they were excited to use them today while it rained.
