This lesson plan for the nursery rhyme \u201cThe Three Little Kittens\u201d is full of engaging homeschool activities to keep your Kindergartener learning for a whole week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever notice how every single preschool or kindergarten lesson plan has coloring pages, and handwriting, and reading the story? Yet your kid<\/em> hates to do any of that stuff. This list of activities that are fun, engaging, and memorable. Requires very little prep. And I know they work because this is how I taught my kids<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child will learn how to recall a story using rhyming words, all about cats and kittens, make groups of 3, how to recognize the letters K and M, the difference between big and small, and even how to sew his very own pair of mittens. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have provided a table of contents below for you. This way you can easily find what you are looking for. Please do look over the entire post before choosing, though! You might miss something really good if you do that. Even when I was teaching my youngest son, who is gifted, he much preferred the bright, whole body and brain, activities over sitting down at a desk learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goals and Objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Before you begin, check for prior understanding<\/strong>. What does your child already know about cats, and kittens? What can your child tell you about mittens? What are they used for? What time of year, or season, are mittens worn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Videos to Watch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Start the week by watching The Wiggles sing and act out the nursery rhyme song about \u201cThree Little Kittens\u201d. Even better is to turn on the closed captioning. While your child may not be reading on his own yet, seeing the words while hearing them will begin to build an understanding between the two. Basically, this is the beginning steps to reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
