Dramatic Play
I hid cotton ball "sheep" and the boys were the ‘shepherds’ and found them. The first time, they picked them up. The second time, they had to balance them on a spoon and carry them back to the "pen" (table).
Letter Activity
The boys traced the letter ‘U’ on a flashcard with their fingers.
They also glued lentils onto paper in the shape of a ‘U’
Math Activity
We played online ‘Deal or No Deal’
I traced the boys feet and cut them out. We took turns measuring items with the feet. The carpet measures 16 A feet and 17 R feet. The table measures 7 R feet and 6 A feet.
Art Activity
I drew a house, path, and rocks, trees, etc. on the side of the path. The boys had to copy what I did.
Bible Activity
We did this activity while driving to martial arts. We role played on the topic of forgiveness. I gave a scenario that included an ‘offender’ who asked for forgiveness. The kids took turns with each scenario, saying "I forgive you." The boys LOVED THIS! I ran through all the scenarios I could think of, but they still wanted more.
So, I gave the boys the chance to think up scenarios. My favorite was from A: "so mom, what if I went in an hid all your jewelry and forgot where it was, would you forgive me if I said I was sorry?"
