• Book of the Week Ideas:
Over-emphasize the /b/ sound in the word "barn"
Have fun with this book - get off the couch and do the dance!
Sandra Boynton has several wonderful books that are our favorites.

• Adam and Eve Stories Ideas:
 DLTK Activities and Crafts
 Christian Preschool Printables

• Name
- This is the first week that the child will begin to look at the letters in his or her name.  Use flashcards, index cards, magnetic letters, or sandpaper letters. 
- Sing B-I-N-G-O with your child's name.  
      Example:  There is a Mommy who has a boy and Fred is his name-O
                       F-R-E-D, F-R-E-D, F-R-E-D
                       And Fred is his name-O

• Read
  Three Little Pigs
  Three Billy-Goats
  Three Bears
  Three Little Kittens

• Fine Motor Skill:
Give your child a pair of Children's Safety Scissors and an old magazine.  Let them cut, cut, cut.  They may want to cut out pictures of items they want or like.  This will make a mess; but nothing that a broom and dustpan can't handle! Check out Teaching How to Use Scissors for ideas.

• Gross Motor Skill:
Throw a bean bag to numbers laying on the floor and say the name of the number it lands on.  Place numbers on ground and have your child run to the number called.
