November Week 4

Welcome to Week 4! I'm a little late posting - sorry about that! We started our holiday travels early and I didn't make it to the computer in time. I tried to make everything easy for this week since it will probably be pretty busy. Enjoy the lessons and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Here are the lessons.

Prep for Day One
Print these cards to use with the Spanish song and watch the Spanish song video again if you want.

Prep for Day Two
1. The Letter L art is here at the No Time for Flashcards site.
2. Gather: glue, scissors, and construction paper.
3. Print the Phonic Leaf activity.

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!
