Every 4-5 weeks, the Curriculum includes a review week. Since children learn through repetition, this week offers a chance to revisit past objectives, repeat favorite activities, and complete any unfinished tasks. New learning is introduced through Character Scriptures and fine and gross motor activities.

Character Traits
Do you desire to parent children the way that God desires? Watch this 3-part series to acquire the tools to build a solid foundation of biblical discipline for your family and raise children who love God and love others.
Academic Teaching and PlayConcentrate on the letters and numbers the child could use additional practice with.
Letters: l, i, T, t, I, E, F, L, H
Numbers: 1, 4
Information: First name
This is the perfect opportunity to introduce or review any colors the child may still be learning. Check out these fun activities in the links below.
Draw the following shapes on small pieces of paper: oval, heart, rectangle, triangle, circle, square, star, and diamond. Place one shape inside each plastic Easter egg and close them.
Hid the eggs around the room or outside in the yard, making sure some are easy to find and others slightly more challenging, depending on your child's skill level.
Instruct your child to look for eggs of a specific color. For example, say, "Find the blue egg!" Once they find the egg, ask the child to open the egg and name the shape. Then move on to the next color. After all the eggs are found, take a moment to review the colors.
For extra learning, ask your child to sort the eggs by color and assist in counting how many they found of each.
If the child is ready for this level of learning, explain how numbers 1 and 4 are separate numbers but together they can be 14 (smaller number) or 41 (larger number). Count out stickers, buttons, M&M's, or Cheerios in a group of 1, 4, 14 and 41.

Developmental Learning and Play
Create a Handprint and Footprint Poster to track your child's growth throughout the curriculum. Save it to compare with another at the end of the year. You might also consider starting a Handprint and Footprint Calendar — perfect for a memorable Christmas gift!
Building with wooden blocks is a fantastic way to strengthen fine motor skills. Encourage your child to create bridges, buildings, or trains, using their hands to manipulate and balance the blocks.
Instead of using the regular Twister rules, simplify the game for preschoolers to focus on color recognition while having fun with movement! Here's how to play:
Lay the Twister mat flat on the floor. Make sure there’s enough room for the child to move around safely.
Call out a color and a body part. For example, you could say, "Put your hand on blue," or "Place your foot on red." The child must find the correct color on the mat and place the chosen body part on it. Encourage them to name the color aloud as they move.
Switch roles so both you and the child get a chance to call out colors and body parts.
Once the child is comfortable, add a challenge by calling out two colors or asking them to switch body parts quickly (e.g., "Now, put your knee on yellow!").
Block-to-Block Direct Matching is a concept that I learned through visual therapy when our son as diagnosed with a visual perception delay.
You will need a set of blocks with duplicates in shape and color along with plastic acetate or plexiglass sheets (hard clear plastic) or any transparent product that is strong enough to carry blocks.
While it may seem overwhelming at first, please don't step this activity as there are so many developmental points to this activity, plus, it is fun! Remember that you can always contact me through LiveChat with questions.
