Here is what we’ve been doing this week. Let us know what you think.  We hope by providing these materials to you free of charge, it will make your life easier! 

Lesson Plan: The lesson plan includes all the lessons for the week, as well as optional ideas. Items following the lesson plan are just the printables or links to websites we used to teach these plans.  (Please note: On top of our lesson plan we are reading books daily that relate to our theme.)

Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time.  You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations.  Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.

Day 1: 
Beginning Writing: Get Santa to his Sleigh- For those tots that may struggle with following the lines, we have added a simpler writing activity.  The 2nd activity has no lines (just a gray path), so all your child has to do is connect the Santa to the sleigh, any way they can.  You can use this document over and over again if you laminate it and then have you child write with dry erase markers. (Black dry erase wipes off easier than color ones.)

Flip & Color: Reindeer -  To do this activity you will need to download the Reindeer picture from Making Learning Fun. This activity will help your child begin to read, count and model whole numbers 1-6.

Christmas Ribbon Weaving- We found this activity at My Montessori Journey.

Day 2:
Wreath Letter Assessment- Use this assessment to determine which letters your child is struggling to recognize. Capital and lowercase assessments available.

Candy Cane Patterns- This activity will help your child begin to recognize, describe and extend patterns.

Wreath Ornament- We found this activity at No Time for Flash Cards.This activity will help your child develop/strengthen his/her fine motor muscles.

Day 3:
Beginning Sounds Christmas Symbols- Helps your child to focus in on the beginning letter sounds he/she hears and then to identify which letter makes that sounds.

Roll & Graph Christmas Symbols- This activity will introduce your child to data collection and interpretation.  Once you’ve completed the graph (first item to 10), make sure to ask simple questions.  Such as, “Which color is taller? What item is that?  Which color is shorter? Which item is that? How many times did we give the (item) a sticker?”  Make sure to show them how to use the graph, instead of just counting the stickers.

Jingle Bell Bracelet- This activity will help your child develop/strengthen his/her fine motor muscles.
