November Week 3

Welcome to Week 3!

Click here for the lessons for this week. Hope the Turkey Trot is fun for your little one, it was smiles and giggles here!

Prep for Day One:
1. Gather materials: construction paper along with brown, red, yellow, and green paints.
2. Look at this picture to get an idea of how your turkey should look.
3. Watch this video for the Spanish Lesson.

Prep for Day Two:
1. Print both pages of the shape picture activity. One is for you to see the final product and the other is for your child to color. I would print the second page on card stock, if you have it, so it stays sturdy through coloring, cutting, and pasting.
2. Gather materials: vinegar, tissue paper (red or pink), white construction paper, and brush.

Prep for Day Three:
1. The Letter K art activity is here.
2. Begin and End Letter K activity sheets are here.

Enjoy!
