The girls had fun learning about pandas today. They enjoyed painting and puzzles. We got our recourses for today from the P is for Penguin, Panda, Police Officer Teachers Pay Teachers pack.
Panda Science
- We read from the Abeka Preschool Language Development Cards to learn more pandas.
- She also did her Panda page from her Abeka Letters & Sounds for 3’s book.
- We reviewed all of the sounds we have learned so far with the Abeka Alphabet Flashcards.
- Then we watched the Wild Kratts Panda Power Up video.
Panda Writing
- The girls each had a similar writing paper for the letter P. My 3 year old had a capital P and lowercase p with tracing arrows, along with an panda to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added a short poem and more tracing P’s and p’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the P is for Penguin, Panda, Police Officer Teachers Pay Teachers pack.
p is for panda
- I printed this p is for panda Craft onto cardstock for the girls to paint. I cut out the lower case “p” for them to paint green to look like bamboo. After that dried they glued it to a piece of green construction paper. Then I cut out the head and body for them to glue on.
Seven Pandas
- The girls each had a similar number 7 paper for counting pandas. My 3 year old had the number 7 with tracing arrows, along with a helpful poem, and 7 pandas to color. The 5 year old had the same paper, but added more tracing 7’s on the bottom. I found both of these in the P is for Penguin, Panda, Police Officer Teachers Pay Teachers pack.
Panda Puzzle
- I printed out the Panda Puzzle on cardstock and then laminated it so that we can use it over and over again. Then she got to put together the panda.
Panda Worksheets
- Then she practiced her cutting with her Order Pandas by Size paper. She glued them on in the order by their size.
- We did the I Spy the Letter P or p with a dot dauber.
Panda Ten Frame
- I printed out the Panda Ten Frame game and then cut the pieces and laminated them. Then she would tell me what the number is on the panda’s bamboo. Then she counted out the correct number of bamboo sticks to add to the ten frame.
