Noah Obeys God – Fingerpaint discussing how Noah had to use his hands to build the ark.
Noah Gathers the Animals – Glue animal crackers on or add pictures or stickers of various animals to the worksheet. Explain to the child how Noah showed he loved God by obeying His command to build the ark and collect the animals.
Noah's Ark – Paint the lower half of the worksheet with watered-down glue. Stick small squares of blue tissue paper on the glue to create water.

• Name:
- This is the first week that the child will begin learning the letters in his or her name. Use tactile letters to talk about each letter. May need to create additional tactile cards if a letter is used more than once.
- 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
• Book of the Week:
- 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.
• Fine Motor Skill: Give the child a pair of Child 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:
On several pieces of paper write the number 0, 1, 2, or 3. Lay the pieces of paper on the floor. Throw a bean bag at the papers and jump up and down representing the number it lands on. Then spread the numbers farther apart and have the child run to the number called.
