This is my least favorite week of ABC Class! The letter Q is HARD! LOL
Here is what I scraped together for this week...
Quilt Collages This is made from quilt wrapping paper I picked up years ago at Borders. (See pic above.) I have used some in my scrapbooking, but most of it has gone to preschool class for the letter Q crafts! You could also just use color paper or scrapbook paper and let them make a quilt collage.
Quarter Rubbings I was thinking this craft was a little lame. Then while I was making the example my 5 year old wandered in and he LOVED it! He remembered making leaf rubbings last Fall and he thought this was quite fun! He ended up making the sample. I also printed out a Quarter Coloring sheet for the kids.
I didn't have a single Q felt story and after doing the quarter rubbings it occurred to me I could make a simple one using the poem from my daughters Money Lapbook. (Hey, it has the word quarter in it!)
Here is what I came up with. I laminated this one because I think my 5 year old will play with it a lot. My daughter still recites this poem which she memorized in June of 2006! Kids brains are amazing!
(BTW, I am loving keepandshare.com! It's a free place to host files so you can share them. YAY!!!)
:^)
Snack will be Quaker Oats Granola Bars! (mini quiche are also good.)
Whew, that's it for the letter Q! Only 9 letters to go and we are done with preschool!!! :^(
Now my 5 year old wants me to teach a "Star Wars Class". LOL He has it all figured out we can use Star Wars to teach reading, math and writing just like I do American Girl Club! LOL Someone please save me!
Jamin, you absolutely amaze me. Day after day you have some fabulous ideas! I love your blog and check in daily to get ideas and inspiration in my homeschooling efforts (which seem mighty meager compared to you!). Thanks for sharing all of your ideas!

You can use the Q-Tips as skeletons for a dinosaur or other animal. Glue them in place with some of the Q-Tips cut in 1/2 of course to make the smaller bones. If money isn't a problem you can spray the q-tips with glow-in-the-dark paint and then when they are done they can hang the dino in their room and see it glow. Might be something just for your son since glow in dark paint is kinda expensive.
Love you ideas! Thanks for sharing!
We have homeschooled our children from the start and we love every minute of it! This is my place to share my thoughts on homeschooling, my kids and living for the Lord. All the while being a little outside the box!!

My 5 year old thinks this one is hysterical! LOL He has had me do it for him many times over the last week since we made it
