- Jesus cares about sick people and He wants us to help sick people too.  Think of ideas that you can do to help someone who is sick (get a tissue, draw a picture, smile, make a phone call).

- Using ace bandages or bathroom tissue, wrap a family member's arm or stuffed animal's leg.  Play with a Doctor set and costume.  Discuss how God uses doctors and nurses to help us feel better.

Break one graham crackers into four narrow sections.  In the middle of each section, spread a square of white frosting to resemble a bandaid.  Eat the snack and discuss the story.

• Math:
- Use farm animals and a barn or toy cars and a road with bridges to demonstrate spatial words - around, through, under, over, right, left.

- “Left to Right is the Way We Read and Write!” ( Author unknown )
- Trace and cut out the child's left hand on green paper, right hand on red paper.  Place the green hand to the left of the page where you are going to write and the red hand to the right. Teach your child to always start at the left (green hand – go), and stop at the right (red hand – stop).

- Read numbers on an alarm clock.  Place the green hand and red hand on the correct sides of a digital clock.

- Have your child help hold the green hand on left side or red hand on the right side of a book as you read.  Point to the words as you read.

If the child is ready, introduce the third letter for writing.  Just like last week, instruct the child to trace the tactile letter. If she is able to correctly form the letter, give the child the 3" Letter cut from the 3" Uppercase Letters worksheet and placed in a dry erase pocket.  With a dry erase marker, demonstrate how to form the letter while saying the Letter Formation Chant.  Then, allow the child to write the letter and use the green and red dots as reminders.

• Book of the Week:
- Allow your child to answer the questions in this book.  The book is written to draw the reader into the storyline on a personal level.
- There are several misconceptions in this book.  Discuss why it is not okay to only water a dog once a month.

• Fine Motor Skill:
Using the peg puzzles, encourage your child to pick up the puzzle pieces using their thumb and index finger.  Count the puzzle pieces.

• Gross Motor Skill:
We're Going on a Bear Hunt is a wonderful book to work on spatial relationships and gross motor skills.  Act it out as you read and have child repeat each line after you.
