I currently have 2 and 3 year olds and I hae found since I have been open that from about October through January I struggle to keep consistant working on preschool with the kids, letters mainly. I get so wrapped up in crafts this time of year that I have a hard time wrapping the crafts into the letters we are learning. I have yet to find a curriculum that works good for us teaching a letter as well as continuing crafts for the current holiday. How do you keep consistent with teaching letters during this fun craft time? Do you have a curriculum that you would suggest that works well to accomodate both letters and crafts for the season? If you make your own would you mind sharing?

I use several websites and I almost always incorporate a craft with letters ie: The other day we made a pumpkin mask and the older kids practiced writing the letter P. Today we made a jack a lantern craft and the older ones practiced making the letter J. I always try to do a fun craft project along with a learning lesson to teach a color, shape, letter or number. The websites I use always have activities that will elaborate on a simple craft.
I love Kids soup.com, but also use DLTK and Allkidsnetwork.
PM me if you want me to help you out. I fumbled through this for years and have finally found some great things that work well for me...thanks to some awesome DCM's that are teachers!

Holidays and Curriculum
Do you work on more than one letter per week? I thought I was told to only work on 1 letter per week with the children. Is it better to pick random letters to work on or work A to Z?Comment

Add letter stamps, stencils and stickers to your projects.
Pick letters that are already in the crafts name...
Foam Santa = S
Construction Paper Turkey = T
