Monday:

1.     Post the new letter on your learning board and trace it in the learning book.  You can teach your child to trace the shape of the letter using their finger in pudding, finger paint, a shallow tray (cookie sheet) filled with rice or beans, etc.  Point out the letter of the week around the room and make sounds for letter.

2.    Put the number of the week on the learning board and trace it in learning book.  Introduce the number with the corresponding number of objects of your choice.  You may wish to use snacks such as crackers, cheerios, etc. to eat and count at the same time.  After you have counted the objects emphasize the written symbol and word for the number. 

3.    Put a picture of the shape on the learning board and trace it in the learning book.  Collect 3 - 5 everyday objects in the shape of the week.  Talk about each object and the shape with your child.    Walk around the house looking for more of this shape.   

3.    Show the color to be learned on the learning board and color in the learning book color spot.  Wear some article of clothing in the color you are learning, the day it is introduced.  Collect 3-5 everyday objects in the color of the week.  Talk about it and walk around the house looking for more of this color.  (Add the color to your meals by eating a food that color, eating off a plate of the week's color, etc.)

4.    REVIEW ALL LETTERS/NUMBERS/SHAPES/COLORS LEARNED

Wednesday:

1.     Review learning board.

2.    Create a matching game with upper/lower case letters.  On one flashcard have the kids write the capital letter of the week and on another flashcard have them write the lowercase letter of the week.  As you have more letters line up the upper and lower case letters with the correct flashcard.

11.  Create a counting sticker book for your child.  Prepare the book with a page for each number to be learned this year.  Write one number at the top of each page.  See the list of numbers below.  As you learn a new number each week, allow your child to place the correct number of stickers on the page for that number.

12.  Either on a worksheet or with objects, put different numbers in a group, and circle/point to the objects corresponding to the NOTW.
