David And Goliath - Rock Week!

This week we are going to focus on David and Goliath in preschool class. I plan to use a lot of rock themed activities to supplement this lesson. I wanted to share a couple of things we will be doing in class.

I found a great alphabet printable (see link below) to use with our rocks. To make the rocks, I used River Stones from WalMart ($4.00 a bag) and some scrapbooking alphabet stickers ($1.00 for small basic black letters in upper and lower case). I simply put an upper and lower case sticker on the rock. I am considering putting some mod podge on them to make them last longer and keep the stickers on.

I have an assistant who is quite artsy and is drawing my class a LARGE Goliath so we can practice our gross motor skills and throw marshmellows at it during center time this week.

Here is the link to the alphabet rock printable.
