3.
Letter “Rr” Handwriting– Locate
the paper with the lowercase letter “Rr”.
Before your child writes on the paper, have him/her make the shape of
the lowercase letter r in the air(Cloud Writing). Have your child “Cloud Write” the letter 5
times. Then trace over the letter on the
paper with his/her finger. Now, get your
pencil. Start at the dot at the top of
the letter and carefully make the letter.
Take your time making your letter carefully, trying to stay inside the
lines. Color the pictures at the bottom
of the page. Scribbling is not
acceptable at this point in the school year.
Remind your child to use at least
3 colors.

Math: Area Game
Materials: Have your child gather several blankets of
various sizes.
To Play: You will need two people to play this game,
if you only have one child, you will get to play too. Choose a blanket to completely cover one of
you and the other person is not completely covered. Sing the following song: (Sung to the tune of
“Muffin Man”)
Oh, do you know who’s covered more,
covered more, covered more
Oh, do you know who’s covered more,
which blanket has more area?
Have your child decide which of you
is covered more. Test other blankets on
other people or things (stuffed animals, toys, etc.) to see which blankets
cover more and which cover less. If you
have an area rug(s) in your house, you can talk about the floor space that it
covers.
Review: Practice nesting sets of measuring cups and
spoons. Then place them in order from
smallest to largest.
5.
Bible Story: The Emmaus Disciples (Luke 24:13-35)
Materials: You will need 3 simple pictures, either
draw them or print them, one of your school or a school, your church or a
church, and finally a picture of your house or a house. Place these pictures throughout your house or
around the yard, so that you can go for a “walk”.
Today’s activities will help your
child realize that there are many places where big and little people learn
about Jesus and more of God’s love.
Repeat the action poem from
yesterday with these modifications.
The children were walking,
walking, walking. (Pretend to walk.)
The children were talking,
talking, talking. (Pretend to talk.)
The children could see, see, see
(Point to your eyes.)
That Jesus loves you and me. (Point to others, point to yourself.)
Tell your child, “Today we are
going for a walk to find places where big people and little people go to
learn about Jesus. Repeat the action
poem above as you walk around. Walk to the school picture. Talk about how the children in your school
learn about Jesus every day. Walk to the church picture. Point out that Sunday school is another place
to learn about Jesus. Remind your child
that people of all ages come to church to learn about Jesus and praise Him. Continue on your walk to the house picture. Explain that we can learn about Jesus in our
own homes. Go back to where you began
your “walk”. School is one of many
special places where we can learn about Jesus.
Say, “We continue to learn about Jesus and His love for us in many
places. Open your Bible and read
the words from 2 Timothy 3:14: “Continue in what you have learned.” God loves us so much, and we want to keep
on learning about how much He loves us.

Parent:
