3.       Letter “Cc” Handwriting– Locate the paper with the lowercase letter “Cc”.  Before your child writes on the paper, have him/her make the shape of the lowercase letter C 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.  It’s a curvy letter, so 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.

4.       Math:  Time

·         Set up a pretend restaurant.

·         Have your child identify breakfast foods, lunch foods, and dinner foods.

·         Ask your child, “When do you eat breakfast?  When do you eat dinner? “

·         Help your child identify that when he/she wakes up, it is morning, and that is usually when people eat breakfast.  When you eat dinner, it is typically evening.  Finally, tell you child that in the middle of the day when they are eating lunch, it is afternoon.

·         Name a time of day and have your child “order” a food that is typically eaten during that time.  Continue to name a couple more times of day so that your child can practice naming additional food.

       Practice:

·         Draw a simple window.  Talk about the position of the sun in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

·         Have your child draw a picture of an activity he/she likes to do and draw the sun or moon in the appropriate location to identify the time of day.

      Check for success:

·         Name an activity that happens at a certain time of day.

·         Have your child state whether the activity occurs in the morning, afternoon, or evening.

5.       Bible Story:  The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20)

Today you will need your “crowd” from yesterday, footstool, and a cross.  Place all these props where you plan to tell the story.

                Pretend to be Jesus.  Review the details of the story.  Walk with your child to the “mountain.”  Stand on the footstool and raise your hands above your head.  Say the Bible words from Mark 16:15, “Go … and tell the good news to all.”  Invite your child to stand on the footstool, pretend to be Jesus and repeat the Bible words.  (If you have other children with you, let them have a turn too.)

                God wants all people in the world to know how much He loves them.  He wants people to know that He sent Jesus to die for their sins and to come alive again.  God wants short people to know that God loves them, tall people, people of all sizes, colors, and shapes. God loves all people.

                Remind your child that Jesus had one more important message for everyone when He was on the mountain with them.  Raise your hands above your head and say, “I am with you always.”

Prayer:  Have your child practice praying – begin:  Dear Jesus, then have your child say “thank you” for something, or “please” for something or both.  You conclude the prayer.  Encourage your child to echo “Amen.”
