Make Way for Ducklings PreK pack

 Last year I made a bunch of Tot Packs and Preschool Packs for my boys to share. Many of them came from Carisa (links on the sidebar to tot and preschool packs etc) and Jolanthe (look at her PreK and K corner, and then under "printables"), but there are TONS out there on other blogs. It was fun figuring out how many folders to dedicate to each pack and how to arrange them for maximum use.  Every pack I made was a hit, and now as I bring them out again it is fun to see how each boy has progressed both in ability and interest.

This year I have only added one mini "pack" to the collection, and it is one I created myself! I took a few pics in case anyone else wanted them, and also because I am happy with how it turned out.  Let me know if you have ideas for how to expand it...my motivation kind of fizzled there at the end.

This book is pretty readily available at the library, but if you want to buy it, follow Jessica's link to amazon (please and thank you) :)
P(1st) can do these in order without the book as reference, but C(preK) needed the guide.
 how is my puzzle already missing a piece??
 On the left you see how I've glued an envelope to the folder for the puzzle.  On the right I added a bunch of hand drawn ducks to the page and laminated it so my boys can find and circle, and will (eventually) print off and cut out a bunch of duck cards to practice addition, subtraction, more than/less than, patterning, etc.
 the words say, "How did the Mallard family cross the road?" and the object is to trace the lines.
 I wrote one consonant on each page of this flip book and stapled them to the page.  Most of the words are goofy, but it does reinforce the beginning sounds concept, which is what I was going for.
 This is a copywork page.  Note: if you're going to be hole punching and putting pages in a folder, don't start writing at the left margin like I did!
 This is a double sided page (I didn't take a pic of the back though) of measuring questions.  I also included page numbers for where P can find each item to be measured so he can practice that.  I suppose this could have gone in a page protector for multiple use...but I got lazy.  We'll erase.
 This is a coin game.  Heads=go one space, tails=go two spaces. 
so...whaddya think?

So cool! We were given this book by my sis-in-law since they all grew up an hour from Boston. Love it! And THANKS for the link-love. I'm honored and really appreciate it!
