Suggested Activities:

• Character Trait:
- Thank You and Praise God
As a family, take a moment to play a game of "Thank You and Praise God."  Take turns telling about something you are thankful for.  After each person says their remembrance, together say, "Thank you and Praise God."

- Time to Be Thankful (Original Source Unknown)
Cut out and decorate the It's Time to Be Thankful worksheet.  Attach to the child's wrist.

• Bible:
- Place watered-down blue paint in an old spray bottle.  Place the Naaman worksheet in a safe place and spray the paint on the worksheet.  

• Math:
- In Week 25 the child sequences a normal day's activities and created a visual a schedule depicting the future.  This week focuses on the past.  Allow the child to explain dictating a letter or to someone over the phone the sequence of events of her day.

- Have the child think of some things he can't do now (present), but will be able to when he grows older (future).  Also, name some things he can do now (present) that he couldn't do when he was younger (past).  (Idea from Tripod)

• Letters:
- Week 28 focuses on the last two leftover characters "U" and "u."  Start by creating the characters using play dough snakes or pipe cleaners and move to writing the characters on the Characters worksheet.  Be sure to say the Letter Formation Chant as the child creates each character.

- On 1” Tracing Paper, have the child write number 0-9.  Draw a box for each number and add the green and red dots if needed. 

• Information:
- Have your child write her phone number and address on the 1” Tracing Paper. Use yellow lines and boxes along with green and red dots as a guide on numbers with which the child is still struggling.  Depending on the ability of your child, work on small sections at a time if needed. 

- In Lesson 17, your child learned how to dial 911.  Review this with play phones and practice calling 911 to report an emergency.  Have your child tell the "dispatcher" her full name, phone number, and address.  Always remind your child that 911 is for emergencies only.  Remind her what constitutes an emergency.  Also conduct a fire drill as a family.  Decide on a meeting place and discuss what doors to use and how to get out of the house.

• My Color Book:
Cut, color, and finish the My Orange Book.  Help your child read the lines.

• Book of the Week:
- Cut out pictures of various types of food and glue on the My Food Plate worksheet.  Help the child create healthy meals by gluing the pictures of the food in the appropriate areas of the plate.  Create several meals.  You can do the same activity gluing food on a paper plate instead of the printable.

Fingerpaint letters, numbers and shapes.

• Gross Motor Skills:
Create a Memory Obstacle Course focusing on colors.
