Suggested Activities:

• Bible:
- Cut the emotions from the Teaching Emotions worksheet.  Color and glue on a purple piece of construction paper.  Add the title "God Made My Feelings."  Point to the emotions and have the child make a matching face.  Discuss situations that may occur to cause the child to feel that emotion and how God made all emotions for good.  Jesus has our same emotions.

- "God Made Me" Poem
Here are my fingers, here are my toes
Here are my knees, here is my nose.
Here are my feet that help me walk around
Here is my mouth that can make sound
Here are my ears, my shoulders, my belly
Here is my tongue that eats grape jelly
Here is my hair that is crazy you see
Here is my smile that God gave me!

• Color:
- Color one of the ABCJLM Purple Worksheets with a jumbo purple crayon.
- Eat purple food:  Grapes, purple cabbage, grape popsicle, grape jelly, plums.
- Do a Color Walk: Walk around the house or neighborhood looking for the color purple.

• Shape:
  Color the Stoplight worksheet red, yellow, and green. Discuss red is on top, yellow is in the middle, and green is on the bottom.
- Sing the Circle Song.

• Self-care and Manners:
Dressing is much harder than undressing.  Here are some hints:  Lay the child's clothes on the floor exactly how the clothing needs to be put on.  Lay the underwear and pants so that the child can sit and pull them up to his/her knees.  Then have the child stand and pull the clothing up the rest of the way.  Lay the non-button shirt with the front down so that the child can pull it over his/her head.  With socks, teach the child to pull them up before teaching him/her to put the socks on (teaching backwards).  Practice with clothing that is a little too big to give more wiggle room.

• Book of the Week:
- Sing the song as you read the book.
- Color the Bus worksheet.
- Do actions are you sing or read.  Make big circles with your arms when you sing about the wheels.

• Fine Motor Skill:
Place the Circle worksheet  on a vertical surface.  Place various stickers inside the circle.  If possible add stickers that correspond with the rest of the week's learning:  purple, clothing, circles, different facial expressions (smiley faces).

• Gross Motor Skill:
Use pieces of painter’s tape or sidewalk chalk to make large outlines on the floor of the shapes learned thus far - circle, square, and triangle.  Have your child identify the shape and then let them walk, crawl, or hop around the edges of the shapes.  Note:  Do not use masking tape, as it will leave a residue.
