- There are many /a/ sounds in this book. Emphasize them in words like "mama" and "llama".
- Talk about why each animal can't be the llama's mama.
- Talk about the different sounds the animals make.
• Adam and Eve Preschool Bible Story Activities and Color Sheets:
- Possible ending to the Bible story - "Even though this was a sad day, when the serpent lied and Adam and Eve disobeyed God, God already had a plan for helping them. His plan was to one day send His Son to Earth to take away sins and bring people back to God!" Thank you Tauna for this idea.

• Practice Twos - Count body parts (ears, eyes, feet, legs, hands, etc.) as the child gets dressed or during bath time
- Pair socks, shoes, gloves
• Letter of the Week
- This is the first week that letters are introduced. Use the sandpaper letters to teach the child the proper formation of each letter. Use a consistent "saying" each time you trace the letter.
- For learning the alphabet, create lowercase and uppercase cards or use alphabet flash cards to allow the child to match the uppercase and lowercase letters together, say their name, and say the phonic sound.
- Popsicle Stick A’s: get 3 popsicle sticks and show the child how to make a big A. Either glue them together when you are done with the lesson or just attach some velcro so the child can create it over and over. Remind the child that "A" is shaped like a triangle. Show with popsicle sticks that a big A is shaped like a triangle. Create an "A" and say "A" and then move the stick down and say "triangle." Thank you Shannon for this idea!
- Big A, Little a
Write the letters "a, b, c, A, B, C" on 3"x5" cards. Lay out all six cards and have your child point to the uppercase A and lowercase a. Shuffle the cards and play again. This activity can be done with any amount of 3x5 cards labelled with letters or number or using flashcards.
- Letter of the Week Activities
Each letter is linked (under the "Items Needed" heading) to a list of ideas to reinforce the learning of that letter. Also available to print are Letter Posters. Create a letter book or individual letter crafts.
- Phonics - Remember to focus on the phonetic sound of each letter as your child is tracing the characters. Read more...
• Daily Computer Activity from Starfall.com
- Calendar Activity - Here is an activity that would be a great start to each day to reinforce numbers, days of the week, and months of the year.
- Letter Activity - Wonderful and fun way to reinforce letters and their phonetic sound.
•
Big Thoughts for Little People: ABC's to Help You Grow - This a book that I HIGHLY suggest that you use throughout the curriculum to learn about Jesus as well as work on the ABC's and phonetic sounds. This is one of the few books that I have given a 5 rating.
• Read and View: 
• Fine Motor Skill:
Using the Peg Puzzles, encourage your child to pick up the puzzle pieces using their thumb and index finger.
• Gross Motor Skill:
Play "Red Light, Green Light" - This game is a fun way to practice the obedience of stopping when told to do so. Using only the green (go) and red (stop or freeze) concepts of this game, play this game while on a trampoline, doing an activity at the park, or running or walking beside each other. Teach the child to immediately stop when given the "red light" command. If the child learns this skill, it can be used in an emergency situation such as a parking lot.
