A is for Adam
This is the first week of the Walk Beside Me Preschool Curriculum!
The link to download is at the bottom. :)
There are a few printables that every packet will have. Every packet will have a (simplified) scripture to memorize, and a song of the week. The song will correlate with the Gospel lesson, and the scripture will correlate with the letter of the week.
This is a simple puzzle. You can laminate for added durability.
Some days I might throw in extra material, some days might be a little less. I hope you enjoy the Walk Beside Me Curriculum. If you do, please leave a note below or on Facebook! Your encouragement is invaluable to keeping me motivated with this blog, as it will be to keeping me motivated with this curriculum. Don’t let me be a Slacker this time!
{Edited to add: one of my most frequent questions is about the Absorption page included in this document. All I did was place items of various absorption abilities (a clean diaper, a plastic plate, a paper towel, etc) on a tray. We numbered each item 1 through 6. We then made guesses about which item soak up the most water. Then we used a baby Tylenol dropper to drop some water on the items and wrote down our “results” as far as which absorbed the best/least/etc. I hope that helps!}

I love it! Just what I’ve been searching for. I thought I was going to have to come up with my own. Thanks for putting it together
Thanks Marlynn! I’m glad you enjoy it. There’s a lot more coming out soon so stay tuned!
Thanks, these are really cute.
Thanks! I’m glad you like them. Good luck teaching your preschooler!
You are AMAZING! I am printing your curriculum right now!!!! Thanks for all your hard work and sharing your creative, spiritual, and educational plans for the rest of us!!!
Thank you SO much! I wish I could tell you how your kinds words made my day. I must be inspired to post these, or I think my ADHD would have long since gotten in the way. :) I hope you enjoy using them!
Just wanted you to know that I was so excited to find your blog with all the wonderful LDS preschool ideas. I, too, have tried to find other LDS resources, but have been dissappointed. But, when I saw your ideas I couldn’t wait to print them off. Unfortunately, my computer software keeps flashing the “virus warning” sign when I try to download anything from your site. I have had my computer crash before, and I’m not willing to take that chance again. Are you interested in selling your curriculum on a cd?
Thanks!
Valerie, you could try going directly to the link through 4shared. I’m not sure if that would help, since it’s still asking you to download something, but at least it’s not taking you to an external site and THEN downloading something. (Some virus softwares don’t like that.) Here’s the link for A is for Adam: http://www.4shared.com/document/xVU6880f/a_pdf_package.html
If that doesn’t work, please email me at sarahclipscoupons at gmail dot com. Since I don’t own the copyright of the artwork, I don’t want to sell it (well, I do, but I shouldn’t! Lol), but I’d be happy to send you a CD of the printables. Let me know!
I am LOVIN’ these! I still have two little ones at home. They want to do school so bad. I also love the idea of pulling these out on Sunday for quiet time. Thank you SO much for putting it together. My cumputer is very unreliable so I’d love a CD if you are putting one together. Let me know. Can’t wait to see the rest of the alphabet! Thanks again!
Sarah, love the name first of all. :) I’m so glad you’re enjoying them! I’m not currently working on a CD but it’s definitely something I could do for you and charge you for shipping or something. Or I can compile a big download for you so it’s downloaded all at once. I haven’t tried that so I don’t know if it would work super well. If I send you a CD I would prefer to send it once the entire curriculum is finished. It’s getting there, but not done yet! Let me know your preference. Feel free to email me at sarahclipscoupons at gmail dot com. Thanks! (Also–do you have a DVD Rom drive? I can fit the whole curriculum easily one DVD, but it might take a couple of CDs. Let me know either way.)
This is such a cute idea! Thank you for all the work of putting these together! I know my little son will enjoy them!
Thank you! I’d love any feedback on the curriculum you can offer. Did your son enjoy it? Did he want more puzzles or ____________ (fill in the blank)?? Let me know how I can make this work for your family!
This looks awesome thank you so much for doing this! I’m printing this off my my four year old and I’m sure my six year old will do it too!
Kelli
I hope they love it! Any feedback you can give me would be totally appreciated. It’s been so fun making them. :)
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!!
LOVE all of your printables! I have them all printed and ready to do with my 4 and 5 year old. The only letter I can’t print is A:( I’m not starting this with them until January(when my baby is born) but I just can’t start without letter A:):) OCD like that:) Are you going to be changing it so that it is on your own site like you did with the others? I think that my fix my problem. I seriously am so greatful for your site and have already shared it with all of my LDS mommy friends!
Thank you so much! And thanks for letting me know about the letter A. I’m so not sure what’s going on there, and I’ve *tried* to get it loaded onto the site. It’s just barely too big of a file to upload, so I have the options of seriously downgrading the file quality or removing some of it. Both of which kinda bum me out. So as I do with all problems that are too fuzzy for my brain to compute, I procrastinated it. I’ll try to get it up before January, okay?! Lol, I’m seriously hoping it will be a lot sooner than that! PS – your blog is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! You are Awesome!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your website!!! My 3 year old son loves doing all the activities. These are great for regular preschool but I’ve also started bringing them to church and he does them during sacrament mtg and stays quiet the whole time working on ‘school’ (as he says). Your curriculum is fantastic! I love the variety of activities. I wanted to print them all out and make a workbook for him, is there any way to get all of it on a DVD or CD? Thanks again for putting all these together. :)
Shersti, thank you for all the wonderful comments! I haven’t tried bringing them to Sacrament meeting yet, but judging on today, I definitely should! I don’t currently offer the curriculum on DVD. Part of that reason is that it’s not *totally* done yet. :D I am really close though! I have thought about making that an option in the future. I’ll be sure to email you if that happens. Thanks again!
Thank you for fixing it!!! Can’t wait to start this with my boys next week! I plan on blogging about it once we get started! You finished just in time!! Thank you!
I love these workbook pages so much! Do you have any idea how to shrink them? I would like to use some of the components for a lapbook and I could fit a lot more on if I could make them smaller. Doesn’t that sound awesome to use them in lapbooking?
LeeAnn, that is the best idea!! If you do that I would LOVE pictures! The only thing I can think off the top of my head is adjusting your printer settings to print multiple pages on 1. With my printer I can print up to 25 pages in 1 (which seems a bit small haha!). Without testing, I would think that a 4 in 1 ratio might be good, or even 2 in 1 for some of them. That would also be really fun to print them to make mini books–even more transportable to church that way!
I read at the top about how your little girl likes to erase, I found these really cool crayola colored pencils that erase completely. She might like these.
I’ve found other christian preschool curriculums before but this is the first lds one that I have found, thank you very much. I’m really going to love using these. I have three kids: 6,3,19 months.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Beth! I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for those. She’s a little OCD but I’m learning to live with it. LOL. I hope you enjoy the preschool!
Thank you for all your work preparing this great resource!
I’m not sure if I missed some instruction somewhere, but I am confused as what to do with the “absorption” page in the letter A packet–can you please enlighten me? I am starting this week with my son and so excited! Thank you for doing this!
Torri, great question. I may have posted about it somewhere… maybe not! Lol. Basically I gathered up different items from the house (a cloth diaper, a paper towel, a piece of wax paper, etc) and we made predictions on what would absorb water and what wouldn’t. We used a dropper from a baby Tylenol and dropped water on each to test our “theories.” Really fun, super simple.
I am SO excited to do these with my kids!!! SO cute!! Thank you!
Thank you!! I hope they enjoy them! :)
Thank you so much for doing all this work and sharing it!! You are awesome and appreciated!!
I love your ideas and can’t wait to teach my little one. I think that this will be great in addition to her preschool, that I can work with her and help her overcome some obstacles. I had a question about the Letter Focus: Absorption page. What exactly am I supposed to do there? I make be overthinking it, but I am totally lost. Thanks for everything!
Haha, I should really explain that one sometime huh? All I did was place items of various absorption abilities (a clean diaper, a plastic plate, a paper towel, etc) on a tray. We numbered each item 1 through 6. We then made guesses about which item soak up the most water. Then we used a baby Tylenol dropper to drop some water on the items and wrote down our “results” as far as which absorbed the best/least/etc. I hope that helps!
I absolutely LOVE this site and I’m so grateful you took the time to make all of this AND share it for free. Thank you so much slacker mom! You are awesome.
Thank you. This is amazing. If this is considered slacking, I’m in trouble! lol.
We just started preschool today and I noticed that you have something wrong on your pages! I didn’t notice until I was reading it to my daughter, it’s the page that has the child circle the “a”s and it says that Adam and Eve at the apple. I know apple starts with a, and maybe that’s why you put it on there, but I didn’t want to teach my daughter the wrong thing! I’m going to be making my own letter “a” finding sheet and changing it to fruit so we don’t get confused! Just a heads up for anyone who didn’t notice ;) I love your site soooo much and I’m so grateful you have these all on here for free! It’s the only LDS preschool homeschool things I can find! Thanks!
These look perfect for some nap time one-on-one with my daughter while the little one sleeps. Thanks for all of your countless hours spent making these!
I’m so glad, they were perfect for us when I had a napper too!
Thank you so much for sharing this curriculum! I’m so excited to do this with my little boy. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Thank you!
Hi! I was able to find the webpages for certain letters (17) but not all. It was difficult to even get those. I had to type the names of the letter and what they stand for(using the schedule of the letters to get the name, and then using your model for the letter A for the other letters) in the URL. Sometimes it worked and brought me to the next letter, but often it didn’t. I wondered if there is an easier way to get each letter. Like maybe a internet page that has each letter listed that you can click on then download. As opposed to having each letter on a separate page, pages that I can’t find. Maybe you can email me the letters that I can’t find: B,C,D,E,K,M,N,O,P. Or I’m open to other suggestions I love these packets! They are so great for my 3.5 year old.
I am definitely working on a better solution for a page listing links to each preschool page. Currently, the easiest method of navigation is by using the drop down menus on the site. When you hover over ‘preschool curriculum,’ a menu slides down. Then if you hover over ‘Walk Beside Me Preschool Curriculum’ you will see another menu for each letter of the alphabet. I’m double checking the menu to make sure every letter is properly linked. Thanks for letting me know about this! I’m glad you are enjoying the packets. :)
Thank you so much for putting this up! My 2 and 3 yr old love it! It makes our at-home preschool time so easy! Thanks!
You are anything but a slacker! You are truly amazing, and I am so grateful to you for all your hard work in effort. I am so excited to get started with Walk Beside Me. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for sharing! This is just what I was looking for :)
Thank you SO much!! This is just what I needed to help me teach my son and daughter. I have been having a hard time finding a good preschool help and these will be perfect for our family.
I’m so grateful you took the time to leave a comment, I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for all your time and effort. Theses will be wonderful for my preschool daughter while her older brothers are homeschooling. Awesome job!
