Monday — Volcano
- Writing Practice: write Uppercase Letter V. Here is a free practice worksheet from A to Z Teacher stuff: Uppercase V
My son loves Paw Patrol! This pup show is preschool favorite and this carry-along book is tons of fun! It has pull tabs to add to the enjoyment as preschoolers learn how the Paw Patrol saves the Turbots and monkeys from an exploding volcano! Marshall uses his water cannons to cool the lava, Skye, Chase, and Ryder swoop in for some daring rescues, and Rubble used his digger to stop the flow of lava.
- Craft: Tissue Paper Volcano — supplies needed are black and white construction paper, orange tissue paper, glue, and scissors.
- Song: We watched and sang along to the “Lava” music video from Disney’s Moana: https://youtu.be/uh4dTLJ9q9o. (I’ll take any excuse to listen to the songs from Moana!).
Tuesday —
- STEM: make a volcano — I found an easy volcano recipe on sciencefun.org.
Look out! The volcano is erupting!!!!!!
- Air Writing: Ask your child to hold up a hand and trace letter V shapes with their finger in the air. I was skeptical of this at first, but my son really got into it and I found him air writing his letters all on his own.

Wednesday — V is for Violin
- Writing Practice: write lowercase letter v. Here is a free practice worksheet from A to Z Teacher stuff: lowercase letter v
- Book: Mole Music by David McPhail — my family enjoys David McPhail’s books! In Mole Music, a mole hears someone playing beautiful music on a violin and sent out to learn to play the violin himself. He practices in his underground home and the lovely music can be heard above ground by all of the creatures and people who pass by. Unbeknownst to mole, the music fills everyone’s hearts and brings about a beautiful peace. This story shows how music touches our hearts and how playing an instrument can bring about beauty for ourselves and for others.
- Craft: Letter V Collection – look around for things that you can make letter V with, such as popsicle sticks, paint brushes, markers, really anything with straight lines. As my son was looking for things to make V, he was calling out other letters that he saw too!
- Math: Count how many things you collected to make your letter V collection!
- Song: Sing along with ABCMouse Songs to The Letter V Song: https://youtu.be/GzMsHJGhXYQ
