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 fine and gross motor skills and visual perception activities.

To finish the Trinity unit, place a dot of white, yellow, and blue fingerpaint on each leaf of the shamrock. Mix the colors together with your index finger to make light green; three colors to form one color. Review who God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is – three distinct persons yet one God.

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!
To practice unbuttoning and buttoning, start by placing the child's clothing on a stuffed animal. Choose clothes with larger buttons to make the process easier at first. Show the child how to push the button through the hole, and then gently pull it all the way through. Once they have mastered larger buttons, gradually move to smaller ones for more of a challenge. Encourage them to use both hands—one to hold the fabric steady and the other to guide the button.
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.
